Suspension creaking noise out of nowhere (video)

https://youtu.be/AjzlWJtSaOw

58,000 miles lowered on KW HAS
driving home from work. Everything was fine. I took a side street to beat some traffic. There was quite a bit of potholes in two speed bumps which I went over pretty slow speed but after that the car started making a crazy squeaking and clunking noise anytime I went over a bigger bump, and when I would turn left or right , I lifted the car check the sway bar bushings sway bar end links the coil. Everything looks tight and in good working order. Any idea what this could be? Could it be ? a ball joint?

Does the sound stop completely once the engine is warm? If so, I may have the same problem when going slow over speed bumps. I’ll get back with you if I resolve it. I’m looking at the lower control arms first.

i have the exact same issue that just started @45k miles on stock setup. It sounds like a spring or something creaking just like in your video. Mines not as bad as yours yet. Now I will look into swapping out those balljoints for something like powerflex/monoball
