Thick sounding squeek from right front. Throw some ideas at me.

Ok i have this thick squeek coming from the right front tire area.. Its not like a high pitched squeek more like a metal on metal kinda grind squeek.

It only happens when i hit a bump
Or when i compress the brakes fairly hard or hard.
THe reason it does it when i compress the brakes I believe is because the front nose dives..
So when i hit a bump the suspension is working or when my nose dives the suspension is working...
So i dont think its brakes. It doesnt make the sound when im going to slow for the nose to dive or when im sitting still and press the brakes.

1.) I thought it might have been the sway bar but torqued it to 17ft lbs and its still there.. Will try removing the torque are too to see what happens.

2.) Possible a ball joint????

3.) could be the shock assembly that bolts the fender.. could be rubbing or not fulling in??? (i recently dropped the engine and craddle and had to bolt the assembly back in after the engine install, maybe did it wrong?)

4.) Bad shock? but these are bilsteins and only have 10,000 miles on them.

The noise is annoying and i need to find it. Any ideas or experience on the matter?
