UPDATE!!!!

Well this morning I tore back in to the upper control arms.. I loosened the two bolts that hold on the arms to the frame. I then used a grease gun on the two grease points.. (Note I put enough grease in the bushings to the point they were starting to pop out) then I sprayed some white lithium grease on both sides on the bushings that touch the frame. I then I used a jack with a block of wood and compressed the suspension. Then retorqued the bolts to factory specs. After about 1/2 a mile there was no more noise!!
