could be the lca bushings and /or the ball joint. my front end was making noise as well over bumps, changed the lca's and no more noise.
if you jack up the car and remove a front tire, look at the bushing for the lca, see if its torn or dry rotted.
i paid 42 bucks a side for dorman lca's from partsgeek.
and the sway bar, look from the under side of it where it hooks up to the end links, they crack underneath first it seems. new solid dorman sway bar and end links can be had for under a 100 with all new bushing and hardware.
