I got a little issue with my suspension, any ideas? This is me bouncing the car purposely to recreate the sound but the sound comes on any vertical movement of the wheel. This is on the driver side but the sound has moved to the passenger side now? Lol it's more like a rubbing sound on the passenger versus the creaking on the driver side. I was told bushings but I've inspected them while the exhaust was getting done and they seem normal and "rubbery". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

curious to know if this has any longer term issues where the bushing could fail and tear off completely or more of a noise annoyance and handling issue?
