squeaking on low speed starts and stops

I replaced my front right strut last night and now I am getting a squeaking noise on the opposite side, front left. It only happens on low speed starts and stops (or maybe it is constantly making noises, my exhaust is too loud). I looked everything over nothing is rubbing or anything, re-greased the swaybar. It sounds like a spring compressing up and down if that makes any sense. I didn't even touch that side. I did hit a curb on the other side(front right), spent $1200 at the dealer in repairs and I even replaced the bent strut myself....ouch. Anyone have any idea what it is. thanks

ahhhh..opposite side. Perhaps when you hit the other side the sway bar shifted and or the subframe shifter( prob not) but the sway bar link(s) could be making the sound. When you hit a curb with any force at all...its alot of stress on all the suspension components, so you will have to get under the car and really make sure of things, all things.
