control arm squeak??

hi guys i washed my car at home yesterday with a regular hose, i blasted the suspension with water, after it dried i drove it and after approx 50 miles my driver side started squeaking when GOING OVER BUMPS(usaually light bumps), i have only 15 k on my monroe struts, so i dont think its the strut.

would it be fair to say control arm bushing? when the squeeking came i wasnt riding on potholes or anything, just driving back home.

and would the water have anything to do with it?

please help

thanks
