front end chirp

I have a chirp coming from the front end of my 2k v10 ex. 4X4. I've tried to move the chassis up and down while under it and can't duplicate the noise. Has anyone else had the same problem? I've lubed the steering joints and there is no change. I've tried to lubricate the front anti sway bar (at least I think that is what it's called) and I can't get rid of the chirp.

Lubricate the steering gear shaft (from underneath the gear)above the pitman arm. Use some spray white lithium grease, try to get under the seal with the nozzle. This should solve the chirp.

I still have the chirp. I think it's coming from the suspension and not the steering components. but I can't get it to chirp sitting in the driveway. Maybe I need more weight to move the sospension...
