Default squeaking

Recently I went on an hour drive and when I was coming off the highway I hear like squeaking sorta, not when I turn or brake but when I coast under 60 mph it’s like something is rubbing. My best guess is a sway bar endlink I jacked it up sprayed PB Blaster (WD-40) on all the joints but maybe should’ve driven it a while after I don’t know just looking for an answer to this noise

I'd be looking at the springs and shocks. There looks to be way to much body movement.

There are no grease " Fittings" ports on either shocks.
Just by the movement in body, I'd wonder if the shocks are there.
And if they are thee I believe It's time to replace them. Look at the rubber mounts.
I would look at the springs and at the rubber end mounts

Just my .02

I think it may just have the struts I’m not 100% if I saw the spring while I was under there I was spraying PB blaster on all bolts and rubber it helped the noise for a couple miles but it’s itching to come back. Also in the video I was pushing really hard to get the sound as loud as possible

The spring is a flat bar of fiberglass 5" -6 " wide, running left to right in both front and rear of car between tires
Cars from factory came equipped with shocks what your naming as struts
