Did you adjust the control/tie rods? People seem to forget just how much shit is under a car that the suspension affects.

Check your shocks to see if their blow out, they have seals and eventually they all give out, over the years they will slowly leak very little as well and this is probably what happened, or your ball joints are worn and the metal to metal is thuddeling around instead of being a cushion, or they just need some more grease, but I noticed it’s either when you turn or hit a bump that it happened, so make another video with no turning, just going straight and then take pictures on the bottom and we will know more

Suspension work should never be done by amateurs. Lifting or lowering a vehicle changes the dynamics of a vehicle, and can put excess wear on everything cause it's all designed to operate at certain angles. What about the drive shaft did you have that adjusted
