First, it occurs with almost any movement of the suspension. As you can see in the video, I'm basically not even compressing the shock/spring at all. Second, it does NOT happen while I'm braking or under heavy acceleration.
It started on the weekend suddenly. I scraped my subframe on a huge lump of pavement, and immediately afterwards this started happening. I pulled the car into my work garage and took the wheel off and there is sticky black gunk covering my coilover. I'm assuming it's a bushing that went poo poo but just looking for confirmation.

Any help?

Your strut is shot.. mine did the same thing so I had it replaced.. go over speed bumps at 20km and you'll hear it squeak every time

i took my front passenger wheel off yesterday and had this black greenish gunk all over the top of the axle boot and it's sprayed along the entire inside of my rim's barrel.

Didn't check if i was squeaking though, hopefully it's not a strut as well. it's only 2 weeks old
