Default Squeaking on turns and bumps

Does anyone know what would cause loud squeaking (sounds like from the front end) going over even the smallest bump, and even when I turn the wheels while in park. Any advice is appreciated!

Sounds like you could have some dried out ball joints, like Gio said, Go around and grease your front end.

Daily?!!! Bet you mean 'routine'

Once every oil change or 6 months whichever comes first should be plenty for a street only car.

But once they squeak, they are on the way out. Grease em and the squeak goes away but they are still wearing out faster than normal.
Doesnt matter how many miles on them and only a little what quality they were when new.
