Default squeaking on left turns. help

OK so i own a 99 trans am. The car makes a creeking noise when turning to left. moving or not. but when i turn to the right no noise. If I am not moving and i turn it slowy it will click/creak. very hard to explain how it sounds. what could be making this sound and what do i need to do to replace it?

tierod end needs lubed. or maybe one of the other 15 or so points that move when you turn the wheel. Just go crazy and lube everything under the front.

I just gave you the most obvious things. I cant hear it, only you can. Have someone turn the wheel and you get under there and listen. Bring a can of wd-40 and hit parts as they move them to see if you can norrow it down or find it.
