It’s not easy to capture on camera but there’s a squeak on the drivers side front suspension when going over bumps. It’ll happen when I go over a speed bump at low speeds or pulling into my driveway, but isn’t really noticeable at speed due to wind noise.
I have the wheel off, just lubed up the sway bar bushing to see if that helps. Will take it for another spin and see what’s up. If the noise is still there, what else should I look into?
something to note, my lower control arm bushing on the front seems a little crooked. top view

Dropped it back on the ground and inspected the control arm bushing, all seems to line up under load. Brake dive has always been bigger thing for my car, but no noises when hard on the brakes. Backing into the driveway or on speed bumps is where I get it most.
It’s been almost 30C around here and I’ve been out driving the past couple days. The noise has started to grow louder, on a really rough road I can definitely hear it now.
