Question Weird sqeaky noise Cant figure it out


So I own A 95 sc300 5spd

recently I have been hearing this weird sqeak noise coming front my front
passengers side sounds like its coming from inside like a bushing or something....
I know that I need to replace a ball joint on that side soon but I dont know or dont think that would cause a noise..
I hear the noise when i start the car up or when im coming to a stop or driving slowly..
Me and my buddy whos a porche mechanic put it up on stands and we couldnt see anything sticking out or really eyecatching..
I still think its a bushing or something thats rubbing.
Going to take it next week to my friends shop whos a suspension specialist hopefully he can figure it out..


ANY SUGGESTION ON WHAT IT MIGHT BE OR WHAT I SHOULD DO WOULD BE GREAT
THANKS FOR READING!

I had the same squeaking noise the passenger side. Kept looking for it like you did and nothing. Until I mess around with front bumper and it was loose. Tighten everything and the noise was gone. Idk yours could be different. Good luck
