Squeaking over bumps

Hey everyone, I'm hearing a high pitched squeaking and chirping sound whenever I go over anything other than a smooth road. It seems to be consistent with whenever the car rebounds from a dip or imperfection in the road. It's more prominent over smaller bumps rather than large bumps. This happens at low speed and high speed and is only coming from the front passenger side. I installed new Voodoo13 front upper control arms about 2 months ago and seemed to start not long after that and has progressively gotten more significant/frequent over the last few weeks. Would this be something caused by bad bushings, end links, ball joints? Or is it the coilovers itself? I have Ksport coilovers that have been on for 3 years and almost 25k miles.

Thanks for the help.

Are you able to lay under the car or get it on a ramp lift while someone moves the body up and down? This should help you isolate the noise.

Could be sway bar end link or damper seal or control arm bushing or ball joint... You gotta get under and try to isolate the squeak.
