Well I greased the hell out of lower ball joint and squeak still persist. I have lubed every moving point I can see I just don't know. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from I know the passenger side is as quiet as a mouse but driverside is another story. Squeak, squeak, squeak damn its annoying!!!

Did you check the ball joints and tie rod ends for excessive play?
FWIW, I've never heard a ball joint squeak (but I suppose it could) but on my 97 F150 the inner tie rod ends would squeak when they were bad.

I called myself checking, it didn't seem to have a lot of play at all. Yesterday it sounded like it was coming from cv boot area when I was underneath it. I replaced the cv half shaft on this side about 2-3 months ago. I wouldn't think cv shaft would squeak like this but dunno.

Nah, not really. But because it can be taken that way, instead of in the vein of "just a heads up..." way that it's meant, I find myself holding back half the time whenever I come across them.
