bad thrust arm bushings or loose strut insert collar/collars would be my guess

Usually the clicking is from the front swaybar end links. Get a couple new ones and the noise will go away.

The shake at 55 is thrust arms (upper control arms), the click is swaybar end links. You can buy new upper control arms at BMA with the 750 bushings.
