I would still guess the lower ball joint. It may be pretty difficult to figure out which joint is bad, it could be one of the others too (the upper one, the stabilizer bar should not squeak as much as it would give a thumb noise.
How many miles does it have?

Is it only at low speeds? I had a similar problem when I first picked up my car. The dealer told me I had a damaged shock. I know there has been a post on the board about a service bulletin regarding this type of noise. You may want to check that out too, and see if it applies to your car.

Squeaking/thumping the upper ball joint sealing boot on upper control arm may be damaged, if there is any indication of vehicle pulling slightly to one side accompanied by small movement of the steering wheel when braking the lower ball joint may be damaged.
