So how long is a piece of string ? What are you driving ? what mileage ? what year ?
F.W.D. or R.W.D. ? Is the squeek from the front or back ? Straight line or on corners ?
Is it coming from the wheels or suspention. Need a lot more info.

Sounds like a dry ball joint or tie roid end. Have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth while holding the tie rod or ball joint. You should feel the roughness. A mechanics stethescope will work too.

Hanvt tried that, it doesnt do it all that much, just every so often. If one of those are dry, it could just be greased up right?

If it has a grease fitting. Otherwise, you'd have to pierce the boot and inject it in that way, but the boot will eventually tear, even if you seal the pierce with RTV.
