Default 2003 4WD with squeak in front suspension?

This is a loud, annoying squeak in front end. 2Door has 97 k miles and is stock down to the tires. It squeaks when you turn the steering wheel left or right. It squeaks when you go over any bump, even a speed bump. If you push down on the front bumper, it sqeaks. I have just replace the passenger side wheel hub/bearing and no difference in that side. IOW it still squeaks. It has the original Bilstien shocks. I have not lubed the front suspension. What can cause this squeak? How do I test for the cause? Any ideas?

I seem to hear the squeaking only at low speeds. At highway speeds, there are so many other noises, the squeaks may be covered up.

you said it squeaks when front bumper is pushed down, get under it and have somebody shove it up and down - not only listen for it feel as well a lot of times you can feel it better than hear it - If that fails and only if that fails, do the same with the other person bouncing it and grab a can of WD and spray one point at a time and see if you can pinpoint it - WD evaporates and won't hurt anything
