I'm not sure if this affect 9000's but I had a noise like that in my old 86 900, and it was the bearing shifting between the lock rings in the hub. Dealer said it was not serious and not worth tearing the thing apart for, but shims were available to reduce the "clack" that occured under the same conditions you describe. So far "Sally" , my 90 9KT has been silent.
I'm not saying that the bushings are not your problem, but If you imagine a bad bushing, it would also shift under load in a straight ahead position at throttle or braking, thus producing the noise. The bearing business would only happen when the wheels were turned to one side or the other.
