Front suspension squeaking diagnosis help

The car has 33k, oem factory sport suspension with Koni FSD installed 3k ago. Verified twice that the squeaking isn't from the recent Koni shocks.

The squeak is coming from the drivers side when going over irregular road surfaces. Whats strange is that the squeaking isn't heard after the car sits overnight but progressively gets worst after driving some miles.

My guess is the sway bar endlink. Check to see it it is tight. But while your there go ahead an throw a wrench on it.

Squeaking was from a worn out oem front sway bar endlink. I replace both of them with oem but will upgrade them with something better later down the road.
