Lower control arm bushing

Lower control arm bushing
All,
Recently I have been having some issue with noise from the front suspension.
It has been progressively getting worse over time. The noise occurs on bumpy surfaces, as well as when turning. It sounds as if something is rubbing in combination with clunking noise.
I am running PSS9's with TRG drop links.
My first thought was the control arm. I checked the bushings. All appear to be ok except for one shows some weeping. Photos show both driver and passenger bushings.
Rears appear to be intact.
Thoughts on this? Any good way to verify? Other suggestions it may be.
Thanks!

My stock camber plates were pretty squeaky when they went. The way to find the problem is to spray silicone lube on the suspected part and take the car for a ride. Only do one part at a time if you want to know which one is the culprit.

Inspected all the suspension parts today. I am going to replace the strut mounts, seems like not much mileage out of these this time around. My old turbo had 80K+ miles and stock mounts and were fine, before I replaced them with monoballs.
Thanks.
Thanks.
