After wracking my mind for a while and tightening everything I could find in the front end, I took a hint from this thread and started looking at the rear.

I found my driver side UCA bolt to the frame (right near the gas tank) was only hand tight. Haven't driven it yet, but I have high hopes that's hopefully what it is...

Back story : just replaced passenger upper and lower ball joints as I'd been hearing a pop from what sounded like from that area and upper was worn, so figured I'd replace both. After getting them in it sounded like something was about to break on that side and have been trying to track down the issue ever since (2 months). Sway bar bushings up front are all new, LCA and UCA bushings are new. If this doesn't fix my issue, I'm going to try and replace the lower strut bushing on my front shocks to see if it's just excessive play.

I'll report back if tightening the rear UCA bolt helped fix my problem.

So, tightening that rear UCA didn’t fix my problem. If anything the sound got worse the next day driving. Kept digging around after work and playing with parts and found my other rear UCA was actually broken right at the weld on the end “cup” part that holds the bushing.

Bought another and reinstalled it this evening and Im assuming it’s going to fix my issue. I know not super helpful for others on this posting, but that’s my fix for my problem. Of course I’ll update if it doesn’t fix, but just wanted to resolve my issue on this posting.
