Default Squeak Noise from Left Front

2001 LS430 Ultra

I have a squeak noise from the left front that is audible in the cabin but is more audible when the window is down so I am pretty confident it is coming from the front left wheel. It basically happens when I go over a bump so I think it is shock / strut related. Any thoughts? How would I know if I have a shock / strut issue?

I had the right front bearing replaced but that noise was much different. Thanks in advance for any help.

Same problem here with my UL('05). Hopefully the noise is not coming from the shock absorber. :I

I have same thing, has been getting worse over past year. Dealer said it was camber bushing, independent mechanic said camber bushing was a little dry but ok. Dealer also said strut was bad, indep mech said strut was fine. Go figure.
