Robert,
If the noise is a metallic squeak, I'd bet on either a ball joint or the outer tie rod end. if you turn the wheel all the war to the left, you can lay on the ground and have an assistant push down to recreate the noise. Feel the ball joints and tie rod end one at a time. When the squeak occurs you should be able to feel the offending part. If the noise is more of a clank, probably a shock bushing, but possibly control arm bushings. Control arm bushings aren't nearly as likely as the others. I think I've ony seen 3 cars in 20 years where the control arm bushings made noise.
