Noisy strut rod?

WOW! Thanks for all the replies fellas.

I figured my post was lost in the ethos so I had a buddy do the fender humping while I checked out her struts (ok that is weird).

I loosened the front of the strut in the heim area and used some "fluid film" on the area.

The noise has gone away!! I could have swore that it was coming from the posterior strut rod where it goes into the LCA but my buddy was not so certain and he was correct.

but.....we will see how long it lasts.
