Default squicking noise.

ok guys. driving is my work so i know my car. i hear this squicking noise from the right front tire. it does it everytime i turn the steering wheel and everytime i go over small bumps. i mean i have this problem for the past 3 months. the shock looks good and everything is fine. i think the noise comes from the middle of the wheel. DO U GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA of what it might be.
might it be a lower BOLT JOINT. because when i turn the steering wheel the only movement one the tire is on the steering arms and on the lower bolt joint ( UPER CONTROL ARM IS NEW) >>> if this helps before i changed the uper control arm my iner tire get wear off.
i need help man. that squicking noise is driving me crazy. i am about to open the whole wheel and shock and spring and beat the **** out of them>>>>> just to get my rage out man.

Have you looked at all??? It might be a bunch of things. Easiest way is to:

Get over to that side and push down on your car. Does it make the sound?

Have a friend turn the steering wheel and see if it makes the sound?

If it does not do it, then jack up that side, remove tire, using a 2X4 as leverage, shimmy the wheel to see if it makes it and try to identify where the sound is coming from.

yes i have looked at it. the noise comes somewhere in the middle of the wheel. it does the noise everytime i turn the steering wheel and everytime i PUSH OR PULL the right side of the car.
i even went under the car while my bro turned the steering wheel. i know the SQUEAKING noise(thx bagged93accord) comes somewhere around the middle of the wheel but can find it where.
if i pull the car up on jack it will not do the noise again. so i got to work with the wheel on the ground.
any ideas. please help this noise is driving me crazy. i am about to get the whole thing off and ******* burn it to hell. i am desperate please help
SQUEAKING NOISE

bob marley says: "simmer down"

drive around in circles backwords (i think thats right)......if a loud squeaking is made (the same noise your currently hearing), then uve got a baaad cv/boot

perhaps its as simple as squeaky bushings.....give ur bushings a good spray w/ silicone

dont need to be going backward, the idea is to put a load on one side of the car with some speed.

drive around in circle, speed up a little bit(nothing stunnaific), if you hear clicking sounds, it's the cj axle(left turn for left axle, right for the right side axle )

thanks stealty. just to be sure before i do that. because i get the noise everytime i turn the steering wheel and everytime go on small bumps. what touches the brake dust pan that makes that noise. i have been under the car while someone else turned the wheel and i haven't seen anything touching the brake dust pan. ( in the back of my mind i always thought it was that piece of **** of the fuckng brake dust pan)
