Main strut spring is fine , felt at drop link , no play! Could it be the struts top bush mount starting to fail?
No rodents stuck in the either.
Could debris have got somewhere around a rubber bushing?
Any more checks I could do? Regards

Could well be a strut mount. Try spraying some silicone spray from the wheel area upwards so it gets to the top of the shock absorber & then spray some at the top from the engine bay. It won’t be a permanent fix, but it might stop the squeak temporarily. If the squeak does stop, then you know its the strut mount. Replace them in pairs.
