My 04 Golf GLS squeaks/chirps from both sides of the front-end whenever I go over bumps. It almost sounds like something rattling. If I depress the brake prior to hitting the bump, there is no noise/no rattle. I had the suspension looked at, nothing was found. Any suggestions?

Loose bolts or screws holding front air shroud on (or some other cover?).

My jetta needed two new lower control arm bushings, which are cheap parts, but laborious to fix.
