Default weird squeaking sound..?

I went over a huge bump on the free way yesterday and since then my suspension it sounds like, has been making this weird noise. when i go over the smallest bumps it does it.
Here's a video of me pushing on it:

It's coming from the front passenger side around the tire area. It's a 95 integra gsr

I saw your video. From the sound I heard...I am going to take a guess and that your shock body valve is ****ed.

I could be wrong though..

Damn that's crazy, did you look underneath to see if anything physically looked out of the ordinary or to see if any oil was leaking from the shock body?

What springs do you have? If you're lowered any more than an inch or so then those HP shocks are junk. They are OK for stock replacement, though.
