Default Another strange noise?

The car is making a quiet chirp/squeak noise when i go over bumps. It doesn't do it all the time, but quite regularly and it's driving me nuts.

I'm currently on Whiteline Group4 coilovers, and the rear left strut is leaking and may need to be rebuilt. The strange thing is, the noise is coming from my front right, as though it's right next to my feet. I'm wondering if it's suspension related or maybe it's just something in the bodywork that needs some attention.

The only thing i have done recently is change the wheel nuts.

Any ideas? It's really shitting me!

Got an aftermarket sway bar in the front? Could be a dry bushing..

Took her for a quick drive after greasing up the bushings on the sways. Didn't hear the noise once, and it was a pretty bump ride.

I'm happy about that, but fucking cut about the strut. It clunks so loud over bumps, and the car feels lame, as though that strut is doing nothing. I was planning to drive a lot over my 2 week break, now i can't drive at all. /rant.
