    Just a thought man....the forward body mount bushing some also call the radiator mount. It is a known issue search for radiator mount or forward body mount. The bushings could wear through causing metal on metal contact.
    It is almost in your wheel well, so I am sure it could sound like it is coming from your UCA...just a thought, good luck bud, hope you get them birds outta there.

    I'll check this, but do you think that could surface after only 3500 mi?

    Thanks for all the advice!

    Went to town with the lithium spray on all contact points and bushings, making sure to get the harder to reach places. Birds seem to be gone for now...

    This. Im certain i have this issue but it doesnt bug me too much anymore. Front right very high pitch squeal/squeak on long sweeping left corners. On my list of stuff to do this spring. Rear springs are noisy as hell and require so much work everytime i drive on a dirt road (often) ive about given up on squeaks. Oh and my clutch pedal. Wth yota
