Default Annoying Front End Noise

I have a 1995 mustang that makes a squeaking noise on the passanger front side. This noise is similar to a bed squeaking. It occurs when I am driving on any kind of bumpy road or when I am making turns. The sound is replicated when I am pushing on the passanger side.

I have replaced the front spring, front struts, sway bar bushings, and tie rod ends.

Please give me any suggestions as to what may be causing this noise. I'm thinking that it may be the sway bar bushings, because even though I replaced them, the outer bushings looks much more compacted than the inner ones.

not sure but I may have that same problem except it's on the drivers side. i took the wheel off everything is fine except i'm thinking it is the ball joint that is worn out. is it a lot louder when you steer the wheel?

I use to have it on my driver's side then the ball joint broke. So I replaced both ball joints and the noise went away. Oddly enough though the noise then started up on the passanger side. Do you think it could be the ball joint? Because it seems really weird that I would replace a part and it would start making the same noise

Stangfreak in reponse to your question, yes the noise is much worse when I steer the wheel, but usually only when I steer it to the left. Any ideas why this might be?

I also thought that might be a problem because I have replaced just about everything else in the suspension. But I had always heard that if your wheel bearing is bad that it would always make the sound when your driving, regardless if you are turning and such.
