Question Front End Groaning Noise - Struts?

Hey all, my RC350 AWD has around 70K miles and recently there has been noise coming from the front end when going over uneven road or accelerating. The noise sounds like rubber groaning as the car bounces up and down but its not very loud and only occurs during slow speeds like driving around a parking lot or local roads. On the highway going over bumps and dips I don't hear anything. It seems mostly to be from the driver side.

Can't seem to reproduce the noise when car is parked and pressing up and down on the fender. No sounds when pressing on the hood either. Could it be the strut going bad? Or the upper strut mount? Control arms?

Here is a video:https://imgur.com/a/S9IOzca
Be sure to turn the sound on! It's not the plastic creaking sound (need to figure that out too) but the deeper groaning sounds.

Thanks!
