Default squek and rattle over bumps from front suspension.

Hello everyone,
I got my truck back today and the dealer fixed the left front steering knuckle.
Well I still have my rattle and squeak out of the left front, it is a metallic sound that I get when driving down the road. If I press down on the fender you get no sounds.

I'm wondering if there is anything specific to check or if maybe something in leveling kit came lose.
Thanks!!!

spray some wd40 on the top of ur strut, and if the squeak stops its ur strut thats squeaking...i would say maybe check ball joints but they squeak u push down on the fenders... thats just wat i did when mine squeaked, once was a strut and other was lower ball joint

^^^ yessir change it and it should stop or do wat i did, just spray it when it starts sqeaking to make it stop till i got enopugh cash to buy a new one... rockauto.com has some great prices for that stuff, cheapest i found yet for parts... or if ur looking to level it u can get the rancho struts that offer a 2" lift in the front... for pretty much the same price as the NEW struts at the dealerships

I have a set of 07 4x4 struts (sans coils) with under 20k miles that you can have for the cost of shipping.
