Upper Control Arms

At least that one is for sure not happy as the seal is broken, letting dirt and water into the ball joint.

But I would almost bet on the stabilizer bar links. Disconnect them and hang it up for a test ride. Their bushings look toast I the picture you provided.

Is there a cotter pin in that upper ball joint that I can't see?

Both of them look like that

Yes

You'll get it beat into submission! Hopefully that will happen before you raise the white flag of defeat! It's always like that, two steps forward, three or more back! Hang in there.

Bad stabilizer bushings would make a clunk sound when going over bumps? I don't see how that would clunk

 

[Ozymandias]

Yes it absolutely does, as only one side of the vehicle moves the stabilizer bar works against that move. And a bad bushing leads to a clonk.
Give it a try, it is so easy to rule that cause out.

I had that more then once before I upgrade to aftermarket links.
