1998 Mitsubishi Diamante very noisey

I have a 98 mitsu. Diamante that I know needs repairs, I just dont know what needs what done. There is a very very loud squeak coming from mainly the front wheels of the car, it sounds like a door that needs wd40 only way louder. This happens always, turning or even getting in or out or closing the door. The other sound comes and goes depending on how fast, whether or not im turning, or the condition of the road and its a scary knocking sound coming from the front wheels, mainly the driver side but the other one also. Its a fast paced thump that gets louder but slower when I am coming to a stop. Bearings? Axel? I have no idea
