    Sorry so Solved.....as in. it was the lower control arm bushings and you replaced them? Or lubed them? Or just replaced the entire lower arm assembly?

    Didn’t replace anything. Sprayed lube on everything that was black rubber and noise is gone. I suspect it may be have been the lower control arm but no negative to getting everything of you can avoid brakes

    Had the exact same issue over here. Sprayed all the LCA rubber bits and the sound is gone. Thank you!

    Adding my experience here. I hit the front LCA bushings with half a can of silicone grease (couldn't really see what I was doing with the wheels on the ground, so spray and pray was my MO) and no change. Based on the comments under the video in the OP, I suppose next step is to replace the LCAs.
