Car Clicks and Creeks over large speed bumps

So, My 02 GS300 with 65,000 miles Clicks and Creeks when going over large speed bumps. I searched for any similar threads and couldn't find any. If any one knows exactly what this is, please let me know. Its the ball joints are going bad, I will replace them.

With my limited knowledge, it sounds like early signs of torn control arm bushings.

I highly doubt that the control arm bushings are torn already. It could be the pads clicking as you are holding the brakes while going over those. Could be the balljoints as well. Get those checked out.
