Help me diagnose squeaking noise...

I've recently been hearing some faint squeaking noise coming from the front end of the car when I pull in and out of my driveway and over bumps when I'm going really slow. I think the bushings might need to be replaced, can anyone confirm if the bushings are causing this noise?

i have had the same noise but mine came after i replaced my shocks. but all my bolts are tight on my shocks so i purchased new sway bar bushing for 8 bucks a piece or somewhere around there. My car has been sitting for the past month tho cuz i smashed into a curb and bent my a arm. so i havent had the chance to test the new bushings. from what i have researched and heard on the forums its usually bushing.

So I got the car inspected and it was the bushings near the transmission causing the noise. Got it replaced and now the steering is tight feeling. Love it.
