Default Squeaking Noise Front Right Wheel

I having a hard time figuring where this squeaking noise coming from. The noise is coming from the front right wheel are. When you pressed down the fender the squeak is there probably by the disc brake area, I doubt if it is the spring and shock.

These are the what is installed

GC w/ Koni yellows
Ingalls Camber kit front and rear
ST sway bar - I doubt it coz. the noise is coming towards the front and not from the inside.

I sprayed this morning with silicone lubricant everything I can think off in the front and yet the noise is still there.

When somebody gets off from the passenger side it squeals.

Help!

My GC extended upper shock mounts came with polyurethane spring isolators that squeak. OEM spring isolators are rubber. If you have them, could be the cause.

Don't have any isolators of any kind on my springs all around.

The thing is why is it, it only squeals on the pass side front.

Tomorrow I will jack up the car again and just dropped the front supported with a block of wood and jack and will try to find the source.

When the car is jacked up and no wheel there is no noise only when there is a wheel.

Normal driving, yes there is sound but minimal but if someone who gets off on the pass side it will sound. The sound is like one of those bicycle horn that has a black rubber you have to press. like airhorn style.

No it does not make noise when turning.

Try lubricating/greasing your upper and lower ball joint...Sounds like the same issue I had on my DC. If that works, your gonna have to replace them both.

Most likely it's the upper control arm bushings. I had cheap aftermarket OE-replacement upper arms on my car and the bushings and ball joints all took a dump within a year. The front of the car squeaked soooo loudly when pushing down on the front of the car.

Try jacking up the front of the car, remove wheels, and unbolt lower shock fork and sway bar end links. Then move the suspension up and down freely to see where it squeaks.

I tried loosening the UCA bushings and then tightening them back down at suspension ride height, but that only helped for a few short days.
