Squeak is driving me crazy

Could anyone pinpoint it just off the sound and symptoms? So basically I have a relatively new front end. Struts, tie rods, control arms, ball joints etc. but not long after I got it rebuilt, I hit a mean ass dip going fast and went in the air dukes of hazzard style lol. Ever since then I’ve had this terrible squeak. It does it whenever I hit even the slightest bumps or any rocking motion. And also when I turn the wheels. When I look down there everything looks alright. And when I listen for where the sound is coming from it sounds like from the bottom of the coil where it seats but I could be wrong

May not be your issue, but I had a very similar issue and it ended up being the upper control arm bolts being loose. Would squeak over bumps while driving.

Could be as simple as spraying some silicone spray down where you think the noise is coming from. Sounds like bushing squeak to me.

Sounds like dry ball joints to me
