Default bushing makin funny sound

I have tein flex kit with edfc on my gs4 for the last 70,000 miles 2 years. I'm gittin this funny sound from the rear left. I have had the nut below the edfc come loose befor makin the same sound so I just tighten it back up good to go. Now it started to make that same sound again so I thought I knew what it was and it be a 2sec. fix, but I get in there and everything is tight so I jack the car up with the wheel off and lift up by the wheel studs to see if I can make the sound what do you know it does it's the lower bushing where the alignment key is moves, O so little, I tighten it up a hair but the sound is still there. I don't get it, is the bushing going bad? How long do they normally last? and why is that the only one?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Could possibly be a balljoint, I would get it checked out. Does it do it all the time or just when you drive it for awhile?

you can hear it every time you drive on bumps in the road or going over speed bumps. Its the lower arm where the alignment key is
