Default Any idea on how to fix this noise? 1994 LS400

I have Megan Coilovers <1 yr old

It doesn't always happen (when it's warmer out it seems to be alright)

But every turn, bump, road change, etc there is this squeaking/creaking noise

I tried lubing up some areas but it didn't appear to help

You can hear the sound more towards the end of the video

I'd appreciate any help

BTW The car is 79,000 on it if that matters at all

Are those expensive? No, it's not slammed. Just the coilovers that were for sale on here and they are a smooth ride, I don't mind them at all.

rough prices ive seen
lowers 80-100 for both
uppers 100 each
im not sure if you would do it yourself or not
if you decide to do it yourself www.lexls.com has great tutorials
before you buy anything i would suggest taking it to a suspension shop and having them confirm (im no pro and i would rather be wrong than have someone spend money on my advice) they could also give you a quote but thier parts will probably be more expensive i would guess around 500-700 from a shop

upper balljoints are substantially more than $100/each because the whole A-arm has to be replaced. lowers (for my 2LS at least) were about $72/each

is the noise from the front only?
