Front suspension rattle

[kylant]

I have a rattle that I cannot figure out where it is coming from. looking for some other ideas.
the rattle is only on big abrupt bumps, can only be heard with the windows down, and i am pretty sure it on the drivers side.
the noise sounds like a metal on metal bird chirping noise.
i have done through the entire front suspension and checked torque on everything, and lubed what can be lubed. nothing has helped.

any ideas on what to check next?
thanks

Are you certain its from the front? My new truck had developed similar noises, more obvious over bumps and turns. GMC finally nailed it and replaced both rear leaf spring packs and hardware; not a squeak since then.

99% sure. there is a pot hole on my street that will create the noise every time. seems like i can almost definitely isolate it to the driver side front

Try recording a sound byte and putting it on here.

Do you have your foot on the brake while you're going over these bumps? I would try it both ways and see if there is a difference
