Default Squeaking Front End

So guys my front end is starting to make noises when I go over bumps and sometimes when I turn. Its gettin cold so I wanna get this taken care of before it gets too cold but I'm not sure what it is. Definitaly a new problem and annoying as hell but I'm not sure if its anything major. What should I check out.

most likely bushings bud, take a peak under there and tell us what you see.

mine does that to, but there is nothing to grease under there. I spray some marine grease
on the bushings every couple of months and it works for me so far. thats the simplest start. richie
