Control arm bushings??? Panrod bushings??? Sway bar end links??? Shock??? Rubber donut on top of spring????

Are the bushings stock or aftermarket??? Poly bushings will make noise...

You might try spraying a white lithum grease like Permatex #81981 in and around the bushings...... Could help.. Wont hurt... DO NOT use anything like WD40, a penetrating oil.... This will degrade the rubber...

I had the same thing,turned out to be the LCA bushings,spraying them didn't help mine,rather then just replace them bushings which can be a lot of work I replaced the LCA's with units that had poly bushings with gease fittings,that took care of the problem

There are grease points on the calipers.. Did you grease ????? Alot of people forget about this and it could cause the pad to stick...
