does it squeak when you turn the wheel right or left or both? speed bumps?
if you press down on the front corner of the car on driver side does it squeak?
those black dust boots that protect the ball joints, keeping dirt out and grease in, eventually crack or tear... then the joint dries out and squeaks for a while... then, as the joint wears abnormally, it will begin to rattle. it's usually one of the top control arms or the Tie Rod End ball joint.
have someone press down on the car while you squat down and listen.
also - if you can jack up that wheel, examine the little boots and try to tell of they're torn or cracked.
