2003 XK8 front end chirping

Chirping at low speed. Thought it was my brakes but had full replacement pads and rotors and chirp continues.
Any ideas before I take it back into my indy?

check the condition of the upper shock mounts and the sway bar bushings.

I had something similar on an X300 when the bottom shock mount was a little loose.

The factory upper shock mounts turn into crumbled orange dust after a few years. Easy to see and feel when you open the hood and closely inspect them....
