So when i run over anything slick like white/ yellow lines, Crack filler ect. even if just rain.
It jerks opposite direction damn near lose control. Can't figure it out.
* I replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides, upper control arms and upper ball joints. Also changed to a shorter stabilizer link sleeve*
I now get a snapping sound when turning at slow speeds. (either turning left or right i can't remember‍)
I checked the best i could to see if lower ball joint was culprit but as for as ik they seem alright. (I do have new ones to install thou) any ideas??

No idea what your truck is… BUT clicking sound might be front CV if your truck is 4wd.

Jerking left/right sounds like a tire issue. How old and what is the mileage on the tires? What are you running?

Have them check your alignment and also TSBs related to loose ball frame or suspension bolts.

I had this issue a year ago under moderate acceleration. Went away after alignment
