squeak/creaking from front end

I have a high pitched squeaking/creaking noise coming from what sounds like the right front of the car when turning the wheel. It only happens (or is only noticeable) at very low speeds, like parking lot speeds when backing out, pulling in, etc. etc. Also, when I go over bumps, I can hear a good amount of squeaking/creaking from the R front of the car. Also, when I press down on the front right part of the car, just above the front passenger wheel, it squeaks/creaks pretty hardcore from the wheel well area. None of the other shocks are squeaky. It doesn't ride like the shocks are out though.

^found that on a porsche forum and its exactly what i would have said so i copy n paste instead of typing it all.

anyway, anyone know what it is.. or could be?

could be a spring insulator worn though, could be a strut top. there should be a rubber pad on top of the spring between the spring and strut top. lube the shit out of it with wd40 and see if the noise goes away.

Yeah simple maintenance thing (Cars get old and creak a little in places...). However, I believe mounts are the culprit with LOTS of squeaking going over bumps.
