Default 05 rl clunk and vibration where to start checking?

05 RL sh-awd with 170k on it
new tires. found receits from tire shop not long ago for tire and balance less than a year ago

heres what I gathered so far
clunks when going over speed bump
vibration during freeway speeds it feels like humming+bouncing kinda in between but its definitely bouncing and humming and clunking
I can hear it more distinctly when accelerating and decelerating from freeway speeds to a stop at the exit.
i don't feel it in steering wheel or pedals.
but a cellphone feels the vibration when placed on the dash while recording a video the picture is shaky
is not affected by turning or RPM
all shocks look dry
wheels do not wiggle by hand side to side or up and down when jacked up
brand new rotors and pads., clean oem axles
rotated rites from front to back didn't fix the vibration

ball joint boots are not ripped and also dry.
I didn't find anything on visual inspection
i don't see the wheel bouncing visually when driving also

found some play up and down in front lower balljoint today.

another WTF moment with RL...
theres no separate balljoint replacement for it like any normal car would. I have to buy whole lower control arm for 140 bucks
