Default squeaking from passenger side only while turning

So i have this horrible squeak/rubbing noise coming from the front passenger axle side of the jeep, but it only happens while turning. Anyone have an idea of what it could be? Ball joints, cv issue?

Change the whole arm. Two bolts and some cussing will get it done. Do not tighten the bolts until the vehicle weight is on the tires.
