Constant squeak from the front left

Another Incessant Squeak data point... I had an ongoing squeak/chirrp from the rear of the cabin. After much investigation, it turns out to have been something in the rear hatch interior panel.

After removing it, cleaning the outer perimeter, silicone spraying the outer perimeter, and reinstalling it ensuring ALL the pressure tabs popped into place (including the ones at the center of the panel) the chirrp/squeaks disappeared.
Hmm, I have had something from the rear hatch area for over a year now. Guess it's time to pull that panel off and check it out.

On another note, this was the thread about 3 years ago that lead me to find those damn annoying plastic plugs on the front splash guards. I swapped out to Rad Rubber a long time ago and haven't looked back since.
 
Squeak/Rattle Update

Just diagnosed a squeak seemingly coming from the driver side dash ends up it was the small fuse box behind the larger one on the driver's side in the engine. It sits in a mount and it was bouncing in there at slower speeds over bumps. Thinking of a more elegant fix but for now wrapping electrical tape worked.
 
Annoying creak front end

Adding to this thread my headache of a sound I haven’t yet tracked down. See this YouTube link of me bouncing on the front end producing the front end squawk. It’s not the hood latch , same sound happens when open hood.
2009 4Runner sr5. 190k miles. Everything outward of the drive train is new(axles, tie rods, shocks, ball joints , control arms )

Thanks for any advice in making this sound go away! - YouTube

Sounds like shot bushings to me, or incorrectly installed parts. Did it make the same sound before you upgraded all those parts?

Have someone move the vehicle like that and watch the top strut bolt, or put your hand on it to see if it can be felt through there.
