G37x squeaking while going over bumps/turning the wheel

Hello guys so recently my g37x sedan has been making an obnoxious squeaking noise when turning the wheel right or going over bumps. It comes and goes. It’ll be squeaking for 2-3 days then it’ll go away and come back. I’m going to leave a video attached below of the noise! Someone please help me out I’m so lost lol. Also it’s not my struts/ I got bc racing coils, not even 6 months old! Ik there are infamous for squeaking from wrong dampening but all my dampening is on point. Please let me know!🙏

Oh it could very well be one of your dampers, doesn't matter how new they are. I had a brand new Tein rear shock that developed a squeak that I thought it was everything and anything else. I was wrong.

Of course, you're talking front end, which has a lot more going on. Just saying, I wouldn't rule out one of your coil-overs going eeek eeek.

Front lower control arms are shot. Ball joints are dry but you will need to replace the entire control arm. Had the same issue.
bought the parts at the dealership - front lower control arms and sway bar links for front and rear
then had a Craigslist mechanic install for $300. Parts cost me about $1200. Pretty tough install. Some bolts needed to be cut and others needed heat from a blowtorch to loosen

If you need control arms, try and buy them from Amayama, I bought my upper control arms, and rear control arms from there for a fraction of the dealer. Got the lower control arms from CZP. Had to get all new hardware as some of those the hardware simple can't be reused.

Mine would creak and squeak from the ball joints.
