Default Front end squeak?

Hi guys. I have a really bad squeak/chirping in my front end that I can't find and its worse than just turning up the radio to drown it out. I have tightened everything 3 or 4 times and havnt found any loose bolts. Sometimes its so bad it will squeak all the time going down the road like every little crack or rock causes it to squeak. It makes it really annoying to drive.

I can make it squeak when I kick the tire on the 3 and 9 o'clock position on both sides. So this makes me think its something in the steering?

Well im not sure if this was the problem but i found both rubber bushings were shot on my RE lower control arms and the passenger side flex joint is loose. When i kick the tire it still makes the noise but might just be the way it is. Now to track down some bushings. Hopefully thats it.
