Squeeking noise when bouncing front end

I changed my shocks to Tokico HP last year with stock springs, I notice recently that when I go over a bump the car's front driver side suspension squeeks. Does the same thing when I bounce the car on that side too. What can it be? Shocks, springs, etc? Does it need greasing or is something wrong and needs attention? Thanks.

It could be some thing as simple as a bolt being loose. so start there.

Well check the bolts on the upper mount then check the bolts on the knuckle

alternatly it could be that the spring has shifted slightly and is now rubbing against something that it shouldnt.

It could most likely be the rubber on the top mount moving with the spring. I have the same problem, and all you need to do is just lube that rubber between the top mount and itself. It will go away in time, mine is just starting to be random now so I don't really care much.
