Default 2001 Manual Click/Pop sound when starting from stop

I've been chasing this one for a little while. I have 2001 Honda Civic EX with 175k mi. Whenever I pull out from a stop, something makes a click or pop or snap (however you want to describe it) sound. It will make the sound once during a cycle and not anymore when going through gears. I'll come to a stop and pull out again and it'll pop. It sounds like it might be coming from passenger side. I can repeat this by pulling out from a stop, it'll click/pop. I come to a stop, put it in reverse and start moving in reverse and it'll pop/click/snap again. I can repeat by moving the car front and back.

I've replaced and torqued the axle nuts, replaced the passenger side axle, checked for loose bolts around engine mounts. It does look like the rear engine mount is about wore out, but I do not believe the sound is coming from that. Any ideas before I start chasing with parts? thanks for the help!

I've made a video with 3 different angles which illustrates the pop/click sound:

Lower control arm compliance bushings, probably the front ones.

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense that it could be that. I do have energy suspension bushing in but they are pretty worn at this point. I'll pull it apart and see what they look like.

OCASSIONALLY the rear bushing in the LCA can slide in and out if to pressed in properly... take the whole thing off and jiggle it.
