Anyway, starting to suspect the noise I have is this thing. Still a chance it could be the old and crusty OEM top mounts I put on my car in between suspension changes. Swapping again soon so I'll be able to verify. 2016 with 34k miles.

I’m assuming you have a lot of track time on your car. If so, I would think the curbs would put a hell of a beating on the coupler. My car probably had this problem a lot longer than I realized. The sound no doubt evolves from more of a thump that you write of as something else to a full on chatter that can no longer be ignored. Once fixed it’s like your in a luxury car or something. You’re sort of like, “hmm, I don’t recall this car ever soaking up bumps without any sound at all”. I just checked my log, I replaced mine at 99k miles. I’m at 136k now and it’s still good. Hyundai had the same issue with couplers crumbling. Unlike Toyota they issued a TSB with an improved coupler and that is the coupler I used on my car.
