Default Horrible Sqeaking

Well I got a horrible squeaking coming from the front drivers side tire, kinda starting to get worried about it. The truck has brand new shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends ans sway bar links and im kind of running out of spots to look for. Doesn't do it from a moving perspective just on bumps in the road or if I push down on the truck. The last thing I can think of would be control arm bushings. Seem about right? Let me know!

We had a similar issue on our 2001 Jimmy. Believe it or not it turned out the tire was dry rotted.
