Default Noise from front drivers side

I have a 1998 Dakota 4X4 I bought about a year ago.When I drive real slow it squeeks like crazy, over every bump and dip in the road.I tried to jump up and down on front bumper but could not get it to squeek, sounds like mostly the drivers side front. Also have a clunk or rattle coming from the drivers side. Sometimes when I hit bumps it rattles and when I turn the wheel going slow it clunks real loud and I can feel it in the steering wheel. Any ideas what to check?

Thanks, rhutson

Sounds like it could be your upper ball joint.
