Steering stabilizer squeaking

So I though maybe the noise was coming from my power steering pump, but after getting closer I think that it is coming from my steering stabilizers.

Anybody else have this issue?

Can I put oil or something on the shock to make it stop squeaking?

Is the shock itself making the noise or the mounting bracket/plate? If its the shock, how long has it been on? They are rather cheap and it may just be time for a new one.

It is really tough for me to tell where the squeaking is coming from, I am 99% sure it is not the pump, but some other part of the steering system. It seems loudest from the steering stabilizers.

It is hard to tell where the squeaking is coming from exactly though.

Pull the stabilizer off to isolate that.
