Default Rubber Squeak noise coming from right front tire area

Hello all. . . well its funny how we always find ourselfs back here.lol
Well im getting a squeky sound coming from the right front tire area. But the only thing is it only does after the car gets warmed up. when I turn the stearing wheel and when I hit bumps. Do you think it can be a bushing of some sort? Thanks

check the sway bar bushings
*but it sounds very weird that it only does it when the car is warm

Yeah I know. . . Another thing I forgot to say was when the car heats up i can push down on the top of the fender and it makes the noise too. Maybe a shock bushing!???

Mine squeaks like crazy (the right side) if im on uneaven pavement or a turn going up or down hill. Also a few times when its real hot (oil temp like 225) i will hear the same squeaking but in a constant tone when I turn the wheel to the right. Also my turn signals quit working.

i will go for the bolt joint. it is very easy, try geting a grease gun and inject some grease generously into all the bolt joints you can find and i bet the sound will go away. do this first before attempting any thing expensive. $20 should be your total cost. caution, do not tear the boots, just inject in using the gun and needle
