Clunking sound from the front

Hello everyone,
I know there are many threads started on this clunking issue. The solution has never been consistent but could be any suspension parts.
Got a 2003 G35 Coupe with 96K miles. And this clunking sound is driving me nuts. I am sure it is to everyone that is having this sound.
A faint sound can be heard when driving above 30 or 40 but under that, during traffic stops or just at the tap of the brakes, it is loud.
So far, after reading some posts not just on G35Driver, but other branded cars ie. Hondas, Lexus i have done these but yet not able to make the sound go away.

- Changed the brake pads (The previous owner had the pads installed the wrong way. This is what i understood from the mechanic. The pin according to him is to go on the inside top)
- Greased the brake pads

What i will be doing this weekend is disconnecting the end links from the sway bar and take it for a short spin.

- Another thread i ready about the sway bar bushing. Going to try these if end links are not the culprit.

Found the problem.
It was the Rear Lower Control Arm on the front.

Video can be found here.

Replacing both with 350z front suspension.
