Suspension squeeks/noise

So just recently after not driving my car for about 2 days

i noticed when getting out of my driveway i hear squeeks like if your door needed some oil or soemthing cuz it squeeks when you open it

what can i do to fix the noise problem

is it the control arms??? or is it the shocks

BTW these are Megan Coil overs

thanks in advance

I think there is some spring wrap you can get to eliminate that noise.

My Tanabe springs came with a slip on cover, if you install them without the cover they squeak like hell.
