Anytime there is a squeak, it is usually related to a bushing. Not saying it couldn't be even a ball joint, but start by checking all the bushings. I attached a pic below showing what I recommend checking. I circled the items. Check to see if anything is loose or dried out.
Let me know what you find. Also, let me know what engine is in it. That could make a difference.

Joe, thank you a ton for your knowledge and also for taking the time to help. I will attempt to see what you recommended. Here is the engine: 2.5L L4 DOHC 16V.

You are very welcome, Dave. I wanted to make sure we weren't dealing with a diesel engine. Suspension is a bit different.
Regardless, let me know what you find. You may want to get some WD40 and spray one of the bushings at a time and work it in to see if it stops or changes. If you do it to all at once, you won't know which one was the issue. It's just a thought.
Let me know if I can help. If you have the chance, let me know what you find.
