Default Squeak going over bumps (with video)

so I've been getting this squeak coming from what seems to be the front driver side, it only happens when going over bumpy roads and sometimes speed bumps

I've tried to recreate the sound by jumping up and down on the driver to no avail so I don't think it's suspension related, haven't jacked up the car to check though

here's a video I took of the sound, it's heard best at around 0:24


any help will be greatly appreciated!

Mine does this too. I don't worry about it too much, but I'm still pretty curious.
Hopefully someone has an answer

doesn't seem like much to worry about from the research I've done, in most cases the culprit was simply bushings, end links or engine mounts that needed to be lubbed up

I jacked up my car yesterday and did a simple check, nothing is loose, nothing is broken, nothing looks like it needs to be replaced

I should get a proper veredict when I take it to Nissan later this month or next month for a full inspection

had Nissan take a look at the car yesterday, checked all the front suspension, sway bars, etc. they tightened and lubed everything

only thing they found loose was the hood latch, hood was loose so they adjusted it and lubed the latch

the squeak is gone!
