Exclamation Suspension squeaking?

I usually drive my car to school and leave it in the parking lot till class is over but, after i leave school and im coming back home, after some driving the front right spring in the suspension will start to squeak. Does anyone know whats wrong with it? Or is this just normal wear and tear?

When you mention it starts to squeak, do you mean as your driving on a bouncy road or hitting a bump working the suspenion or just cruising it?
I ask this because I've had this same problem but was in my 92' Ford T-Bird, the suspension would squeak everytime I hit a dip or a bump, ect.

Its really awkward because on large dips and bumps it makes no squeaking. But the second i do a slow left turn in a residential street going about 15mph it starts squeaking into the turn.

I have the exact same squeaking noise i think. Does it sound high pitched and continuous through the turn. I get that on my right turns. But recently I am also hearing it on the left turns too. I am having my tires replaced today and hope these mechanics can find something.
