Driver's side front axle shaft movement - need to do the get the ECGS bushing?

I'm trying to diagnose a "chirping" noise from the front suspension that has started recently. I'm also getting a "clunk" that happens on faster, tight turns, but it seems to only happen when the turns are right then left, or left then right. I get a "clunk" on a right turn, but no clunk on a subsequent right turn. But I'll get a "clunk" on a right turn, then another on a subsequent left turn, and vice versa.

I've got the full OME setup, 885x coils and LR UCAs. I was under the truck tonight looking at various things, and I see the following issues:
Sway bar is hitting the lower spring perch. Damnit, time to fix that I guess.....
Black plastic strut covers are wearing away the paint on the Nitrocharger bodies on both sides. Issue?

and finally, it seems my half shafts have some play in them. The passenger side isn't bad, but check out the driver's side in the video below (click on image to go to video hosted on photobucket):


I'm assuming that isn't good, and it's time to order the ECGS kit and dig into the front end?
