Front End Squeek

Ok, got the 4x4 fixed now heres my next problem on my dads 1997 F250 Light Duty.

Front end has a horrible squeek when bouncing the front end or truning the steering wheel. The suspension moves when turning the steering wheel so of course it could still be something in the suspension or steering. I tried to do a search but my computer would not open the page. Any ideas? I'm thinking ball joints but I know the tie rod ends or bushings could be other possibilities. I layed under the truck while my dad bounced it up and down. So far I can't pinpoint the cause. Has bout 90k miles. It may be time for ball joints anyway. I hate parts swaping to find a problem but that may be the only option. Any help would be appreciated.

I know my SuperCrew F150 squeaks on bumps. I spray some silicone lube on the rubber bushings holding the torsion bar, that clears it up for about 6 months. I'd start there.
