FWIW the real labor is going to be removing/replacing the springs on the struts. So I’ll be replacing them at the same time with a pair of Bilstein B4s.

I have a feeling you're right about the missing guides causing the squealing. I don't see any breakage on the spring. I'll know for sure once i take the strut tower apart.
