Default steering squeal

hey i have noticed that when i turn from a stand still, slow speed, and high speed that there is a loud squeal. Its coming from the front suspension. I am mostly sure it is not the tires so wondering if anyone has or had the same problem.

Default wheel well

I know when i bought he car it came with newer wheels that did rub the sway bars when fully turned because they are taller than stock but this happens when only slightly turned.

What kind of squeal? There is a TSB on something similar to this, but I don't remember how that sound is described (has to do with the mounts). Cliffy specifically addresses this issue on his website (paladinmicro.com??? somebody help me here )

Check the ball joints and/or tie rod ends. Mine did the same thing and it was the ball joint, I had to buy a grease needle from Autozone to inject some grease in the joint (since we do not have zerk fittings).

There is also a TSB on rack mounts doing the same thing, they sell an updated part to stop the squeek

see, i think there may be more to it than that tho - as im runnin the QA1 tubular K, which replaces that whole design and integrates it into the k itself, and i still get the noise. its not a big issue for me, as i have other creaking issues going on.
