FWIW, upper strut mountngs can squeek. Sometimes changing springs can make it start. For a cheap, easy fix, try to duplicate the noise by jouncing the front end. Then spray silicone lube or even WD40 inth area of the squeek. Hitting the rubber bushings in the control arms with the silicone might also help.
Go for a ride in a car with Heim jounts (rod end bearings) in all the pivot locations. Take earplugs.
If all else fails, turn up the stereo volume.
