Please Help, Crazy clicking/popping noise coming from my suspension
2006 Lexus IS250:
So i know it will be hard to diagnose without actually hearing the sound coming from the under-carriage of my car, but I will try to explain it as best as i can. It started when i went over a curb due to ice on the road. after I got an alignment, the car felt fine, and 2 different mechanics didnt see anything wrong with the bottom of my car/suspension.
Every time I go over an uneven surface at 10 miles an hour or less, there is this crazy clicking, popping noise from my suspension, like 2 pieces of metal ar rubbing against each other, or 2 pieces of plastic are hitting each other. if I go over a speed bump (mostly when I am going over it at an angle) at a slow speed, the clicking and popping comes from both the front and rear, seems to be coming out from my wheels, but deeper inside. I feel when the car changes directions at a slow speed, the popping will happen, or when the car slowly goes up and down, it will pop and click. I am not sure if it is the sway bars, or what, i have no idea about a cars suspension, other than the shocks and struts (which should be fine on my car, i checked them).
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong with my suspension. It is super loud and embarrasing!

So you are saying, "jack up the car near 1 of the wheels, then put a 2nd jack under that same wheels control arm, and move it up and down to see if that is the issue?" (in a nutshell)
