Default High Pitch Squeak On Front Driver's Side?

I have a 2009 1500 Crew Cab and I can’t find a high pitch squeak that is coming from the driver’s side front end. I thought it might be the upper control arm so I loosened the bolts on it a little 100 ft/lbs as opposed to the 130 ft/lbs factory torque specs and it got worse. I have since retightened them but this squeak is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

PS I did notice that the lower control arm bolts had paint marks on them indicating that they might go in a certain way but they were in up side down from the way they were marked? PLEASE HELP!!!

I had a squeak a year or so ago, it was the inner fender lining near the ft bumper in the wheel well. Squeaked like crazy, I would never thought it was that. You could hear it while driving with the window down. Try pushing on the ft bumper near the wheel opening. I also had the hood squeaking, there is a RRT for the anti fricton tape on the hood where the bumpers are.
