Left turn squeak... WTH????

Ok guys / gals, my 04 EB just developed a left turn squeak that is driving me crazy. I get 3 short squeaks everytime I turn to the left. Doesn't matter if I'm accelerating, on the brake or coasting and vehicle speed doesn't seem to have any influence. I can not tell from the drivers seat with the window open where it's coming from.... front or rear / left side or right. Any thoughts would be appreciated..

Here are the specifics on the X:
2004 EB 4x4 with V10 and 118,000 miles
Both front hubs have been replaced in last 8,000 miles along with rear drive shaft u-joints. Tires are Toyo Open Country with less than 5K on them. Suspension is stock. Pads and rotors replaced last fall (November).

Thanks all...

George in West Michigan.

Front axle shaft u-joints getting dry/squeeky? Could make a noise when turning. You only mentioned rear u-joints.

This is getting frustrating. I'm going to try and grease the u-joints but they are a bitch to get into. I'll give it a try though. I can't imagine it being anything else.... maybe swaybar bushing?
