isSuspension noise? Clicking sound when car moves side to side

Been lurking for a while and have used the search feature quite a bit but have a sound that's bugging me.

I'm hearing a clicking noise in the front right part of my car (08 G35 Journey/automatic/65k miles/no mods). I usually only hear it at low speeds (not that loud of a sound) and it occurs when there's any kind of lateral movement and not so much when going over bumps. I can replicate the sound if I rock the car back and forth from the passenger side and it sounds like it's coming from the front wheel well area.

When I jack up that corner there's zero play/noise when I try rocking the tire which makes me think the wheel bearing is fine. All bushings look great with no cracking or visible damage. No loose bolts that I could find.

Since it's mostly a side to side thing I was thinking end links so I ordered a new pair but haven't received them yet. I have my doubts that those are the problem since they appear pristine but they're so cheap that I figured I might as well give it a shot.

Anyone had a similar issue or have any recommendations?

I have seen some lower control arms on V36 models making noise and would not make noise when raising vehicle. May want to check there as well.
