Default Steering Questions

Heres my problems: the groaning noise from the front right wheel, it becomes higher pitched at high speeds but still very low sounding and it gets louder when i turn left. This is the wheel bearing correct? Secondly, the wheel squeeks when turned, im pretty sure it comes from the left side and it does kind of sound like two balloons rubbing togther. So this would be the control arm right, but my question is if they can be lubricated to put off the repair. However, when hitting bumps at low speeds it does sound like its clunking on both sides so from what ive read this is the more severe problem with the control arms but i dont hear them at all at speeds above 10 mph so I dont know what to think now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you already know what to do.. now u just have to fork over the cash and fix it, if ur goin for the cheap route buy a decent set of front control ar s including tie rod ends off ebay and do it urself then allign u can use a lil wd40 if u know which one is squealing but it doesnt do alot or last long if they're clunking they're in pretty bad shape
