Default Squeaky sound coming from the front

Hi guys. About a week ago I got my front ball joints replaced, and soon after I noticed this very faint squeaking noise coming from the front as if there's a mouse stuck somewhere under the hood. It can only be heard when going over bumps and uneven surfaces. Any idea what it could be?.. Thanks in advance!

It could be a lot of things, and in some cases, it can still be there even after you replace every control arm, bushings, endlinks, ball joints, shocks in your suspension, only to find out that it was your brake shim sliding around.

The best thing to do is to start with the easiest and free remedies and work your way up to the harder, more expensive fixes.

Thanks for all the help, turns out it was a piece of wire I left wrapped around my coil spring when I hung my caliper from it... Couldn't have figured it out without your help.

Funny thing is, the noise seems to be affected by the temperature, humidity, or something else, because it's not permanent and I can drive for days without hearing any of it.

Guys, looks like I finally found out where that squealing noise was coming from. Turns out, one of the bolts holding the control arm was loose. Thanks to everyone who responded to my thread.
