Noise when doing quick left to right movements

Funny stuff, today I drove like 100 miles on the Autobahn and then wanted to check on the bushings. Had to help a friend with his small car first but that took too long to check my RAM.
So I drove back. On my way back I tried the "shaking test" again (like in the video in the 1st post), and guess what? Noise is gone!
So maybe it took some time to get the grease back into the ball joints?! Is that a possible explanation? Otherwise I have no idea what so ever why the noise is gone now. Weather is the same more or less the past days etc. Nothing changed, apart from greasing the ball joints.

Just replaced the sway bar bushings. Noise is still there. Had my son in the car when going on the test drive and when the noise appeared he said he would "feel" the noise from underneath his feet.
So there are these torsion bars right under it. Is it possible that the torsion bars or torsion bar keys are making these kind of noises?! I have aftermarket keys to lift the front of the car.
Thanks for your help!!

Just got back from checking everything.
At least when stationary, so not lifted up, I can't feel any play in the lower control arm bushings.
Also this torsion bar crossmember bushing is looking very good and has no play, I can barely move the rubber with a pry bar. So no play.
Watched some videos and could it be that the torsion key lift screws are rubbing on the torsion keys giving that noise? As it only happens on these quick turns and sharp bumps?
Watched a guy putting some rubber there but without any change. Would greasing it up help?
I have the screws threaded in to the maximum position to clear the tires in the front.
Thanks guys for any help!!!
