Front driver side suspension squeek w/ VID
KYB AGX with S-techs, only on car for ~10k-20k

Makes noise anytime the car has up and down motion (im pushing/pulling up/down on the fender in video), is worse when it gets warmer it seems. I had this noise last end of summer, but when winter came it completely went away. Now its back again now that its warm. I'm wondering what temperature has to do with it, but def something.
What is making this damn noise?

First spray a bit of WD-40 on the AGX piston, if the noise goes away the strut is at fault. If the noise is still there, spray the spring with WD-40, if the noise goes away, then it's the spring rubbing and I'd suggest taking the strut apart and reseating everything. Also listen closely to the strut mount up top to make sure it's not coming from there. Check your lower control arm bushings and sway bar bushings as well.
I sprayed some WD-40 on the strut piston to no avail. Will try the spring next.
I recall doing this last summer when I had this noise and the noise went away (for a bit), tho I sprayed everything when I did that.
Control arm bushing are pretty new, less then 15k on them (energy suspension ones)
I can't recall if i changed the sway bar bushings as well or not but i think those are fine too.
I am pretty sure its either the spring or the strut making this noise, I just wanna b sure which one before I replace it.
