Our Blazer started making sqeaking noises in the front end in the fall of '07. It now squeaks constantly; when we streer, go over a bump, basically any time the suspention in the front moves AT ALL! We have never had the shocks replaces nor do I know anything about the steering components. I have a gut feeling it has to do with the suspention and/or stabilizer bar(s?). Any information would help.

Sounds like the upper control arm bushings, or worn ball joints...try some grease in the ball joints, if they have no fittings, check them for play.
