Unhappy Squeaking noise from front driver side

Hi can anyone help me with this crazy noise.It happened on the driver side only when I turn the steering wheel left and right, the noise is not too loud but any one can hear them.

I open the driver door and push my hand power on the window, the noise is the same noise. But the passenger side is good.

When I jump the car higher the wheel is on the air, and turn the steering wheel => The noise gone, no more noise

I let the shop checked it, they have no glue on my issue, they checked the arm, the low ball joint,the suspension,then they said the rubber seal is good and not leaking oil. Nothing to do.

I change the tire side to side, but the noise is still alive.

Some of my friend told to me to change the suspension shock, or add some small grease to the rubber of the low ball joint ????

Please help, thank you you guys so much

Spray plenty of WD40 on the steering column between the firewall and engine bay. I had a squeaking steering wheel and was convinced that it was coming from under the dash but this cured it, costs nothing to try.

I had the same problem, driver side, front squeak most of the times when I hit a pole, I ordered the upper and lower control. There’s two lower control arms of front and the back. It was the front lower control arm on my driver side. Of course I ordered the back lower control on when it was the front lower control arm, but I live and I learned. but it wasn’t too expensive. I ordered from Euro Parts and Mechanic is a good friend. Hope this could help somebody. I don’t know. God bless you and yours.
