Usual for me is to lever the ball joint for visible palpable play.
Apparently not as reliable an test on these cars as on many others in my past. IF joint is known good, then those $6 ali bushes are a good bet.
Also check the rear A Arm bushing, the big ali one. Usually the centre hole tears out from the bush making sporadic noises dependant on the stage of it's deterioration.
Sometimes the bolts that hold that Big bush to the cars' underfloor can strip out and loosen.. also making the noises you describe.
