Exclamation Front suspension squeaks

How do you stop the squeaks from the front suspension? At first I thought it was due to an accident it was involved in, but my Father says it has had it prior to that. Also, I have seen alot of Ford trucks with the similar squeak, even the new ones. It happens when you are doing a slow turn and the suspension is loading/unloading (like going up a driveway). Any ideas as to what it could be? This is getting annoying/embarrassing.

its pretty hard to diagnose without hearing the actual noise. could be a looseblot somewhere or maybe a bad ball joint or something in need of grease.

ya, could need some lube. Gotta grease gun? See if you can figure out where its coming from. Have someone drive while you walk along side it. Get your head somewhat close, but safe, and see if its from near the wheel, spring, radius arm, brakes, front, rear, ect. Maybe some lithium will take care of it. Sometimes I can figure stuff out while driving with the door open and leaning out a little. Ofcourse I'm going slow when doing this. Let us know.
