Have you tried it while lifted? (ie. without load on suspension)
I guess one could just disconnect the tie rod ends and do the same slight-left-then-right test, but that would incur the cost of another alignment.

The thing on the right all the way at the top of the strut? I know the nuts that hold the studs in are tight, checked that too.
Or are you referring to something else?

Curved control Arm
I had the same noise for a while too. In the end I could feel the movement if I hit the brakes while moving very slow, at that point it was a little scary to drive.
