Default Squeaking while turning

My car has a weird squeak while turning at low speeds, like in a parking lot where I'd rotate the wheel a lot, opposed to on the freeway where I just turn it a little bit.

I don't think it happens when the car's hot, after driving for a while and pulling into the driveway I don't notice it. I always notice it when I start it up in the morning though. I could just be oblivious though...

search came up with nothing like this

My tie rod ends did that.. replaced them. took measurements so there was no need for a front end alignment. Still got a wierd pop. Father(ASE mastertech) said it was strut mounts... so.. yeah.

get it checked soon... most basic "Muffler shops" will give you a free estimate to tell you what it is.. ball joints = bad news if you do alot of twisty driving.. i would be very careful on them/ not drive it..
