Default Car making squeaky sounds.

Car in question, 1991 honda accord ex-r (ex in the u.s.)

I first noticed this when I made a right turn onto the main street at low speeds, I could hear a high pitched squeak coming from the front driver side wheel area. When I get out of the car and close the door, I notice I can also hear it squeak for a second or two then stop. If I use my foot to push the front driver side wheel in (not kick), it will squeak.

I haven't kicked my other wheels so I'm not sure if it's only the front driver side, but I will check later.

What's wrong with my car? Do I need to go make a video to demonstrate? Thanks.

You might have a squeeky bushing, but I'm not sure which one. You'll have to do some more investigating to figure out what it is.

now that i think about it, about a month ago, when i turned the steering wheel back and fourth (2 cm to each side so not much), it squeaked a bit, the same kind of sound i'm hearing now.

it didn't happen all the time and i haven't noticed it in awhile so i assumed it was just the tire squeaking with the ground.

but yeah, now that i think of it, the sound is very similar, if not the same sound.
