Squeaking of the front end.

Squeaking of the front end.
Howdy,
Ive encountered a squeaking of both wheels, I suspect atleast it is BOTH. Anyways, the squeaking happens at all speeds and any time Im driving, even from a cold start. Ive read quite a few threads on here about similar problems, Ive planned to go hit up a lift this weekend to check on the movement of the tire and see if there is play or what not.
Im not 100% sure if its my bearings or CV joint, but as far as I know if the CV joint is bad it will make a clicking, and not a squeaking/squealing? I discovered this squeak after a long day of offroading, and wasnt sure what it was, I always immediately clean my vehicle after trashing her. I ended up tearing the outer CV boot on the driver side, but this was before I went offroading that day(as far as I know, it could have happened on a previous trip out), so I patched it up with some One Minute RTV, after making sure it sealed and would hold, I decided it'd be fine to take her out.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to go about diagnosing this problem, I would be greatly appreciative of the help.
I have a 2004 F-150 SCab(new body style), 4x4, with 98k miles.
