Okay guys I think I'm narrowing it down to the endlinks, anyone have and tips for replicating road force while it's stationary to check for up/down movement?

Hey guess what, it was the end links.

I worked from right to left making sure everything was up to snuff, wasn't till I got to the last nut, the top left end link, that the noise went away.

Thanks a lot guys.

An easy diagnosis for loose end link noise is to unbolt them
and then go for a ride to see if the noise disappears with the
end links disconnected and zip tied out of the way.
