Default squeaking noise? help

SO this is the first problem i had out of my ram. I dont think its a big deal but wanna hear some input on what u guys think. When i turn my wheel to the left it sounds like a squeaking/rubbin noise. Like maybe the bushings are rubbing (maybe some wd40?) i soaked them in wd40 and it helped a little bit but still get that nopise a little bit. SO what else could it be? if its bad break it to me nicely lol. Thanks and look forward to hearing some inputs!

Possibly bearings. Probably not a cv, a cv will sound like a clicking noise. I'd start with looking at the bearings.

i jacked it up and checked the bearing they seem great, not any give, it sounds like its coming from around the shock area if that makes any sense... It only happens when i turn it to the left not the right....

I have the same problem as you. With four-wheel drive sounds really loud. Mostly when I turn left.

Is it when you're moving, stopped or both?
