Default Chirping Noise over bumps

Has anyone experienced this noise on their Land Rover? It is coming from the drivers side front wheel area . It happens going over bumps .It's a chirping noise and is very loud. I had an alignment as well as some front end work done thinking it would take care of it but to no avail. Repairs include Brake work, tie rods left inner, right inner , both outer tie rods. new front wheel bearing assembly, alignment. Indy shop said they can't diagnose where noise is coming from and are just wanting to try different things at this point. I have noticed my whole front end is starting to lose pressure and will be in access mode by morning. Could it be the front air struts going bad and would they make this noise if they had a leak ?
See attached video.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have the same loud chirping noise in mine as well. I think it's the control arm bushings. I'll be replacing my upper and lower control arms as well as my air shocks here in the next few weeks. I'll let you know if that fixes it. I've got 228K miles on mine, so it's about time for some replacement parts.

Thanks. I replaced all upper and lower control arms last year. I don't think they would be bad so soon, but could be a possibility. I have ordered the gas struts and will be installing as soon as they come in. Hopefully will get to it later this week or next week.I will definitely keep you posted.

I was troubleshooting mine today as I was driving. Seems it chirps when my passenger side air shock extends after I hit a bump. Doesn’t do it during the compression of the air strut.

Did you get around to replacing your air struts yet?

It was the air shocks! I replaced both front shocks and I have no more chirping. I want to say that it was sucking in air on extension which was causing the high pitched chirping. Now I have at off road height, gonna let it sit and make sure there are no other leaks. I went ahead and replaced the front air valve block while I was in there.
