I have a really bad noise coming for the front-end and it gets worse every day. Its very loud and sound like someone turning out rusty bolts.

It squeaks when I turn, it squeaks when I hit a bump, it squeaks when I even just get in it.

The noise is so loud its to the point that I need to drive with the windows up.

When going over speed bumps people actually turn their head to see what the noise is.

Its a 99 and I have about 103,000 on it. I thought it might be control arm bushings, but I don't understand why it does it just by turning the wheel.
 






On my X, it was the passenger side upper ball joint caused the squeaky sound.
