Default squeeky shock tower

My friends 98 prelude makes this squeeky sound. If you push down on the car the sound gets loud, it seems like the sound is only audible at low rpms and you can hear it whether it's on a flat road or bumpy road. anyone know what's up with this? I think it might be the factory pillow mount. He has GCs with Koni Shocks and it's lowered pretty low like 2.5inches

thanks

he ain't fix it....he temporarly fixed it...soon as that wd 40 wears the noise will be back...he mostly likely needs some sort of bushing...check for cracks and old looking bushings and fix em..the right way
