Squeaking when moving steering wheel

Hey, When I turn the steering wheel I hear squeaking coming from the front wheel area. I'm wondering if there are grease fitting under there somewhere to lube up the steering geometry. I've crawled under there and cant seem to locate any fittings. I only hear the squeak with the windows down and very slow speeds. i'm sure its there at high speeds too, just cant hear it.

Mine has the same problem. It's the lower passenger side ball joint on mine. I'll be doing mine this weekend.

Easy fix, don't turn the wheel ha ha. Yeah, sounds like a frontend wear part, possibly a ball joint as mentioned.
