Difficult to say without seeing/hearing. Could be the spring, could be a worn upper bearing plate, could be a worn balljoint. Often times with that kind of noise, if it can't be isolated on a lift it might require chassis ears.

Chassis ears are microphones that you attach to parts of the suspension/chassis and you can isolate what is causing the noise.
