I have a bad squeak in my left passenger front side. I replaced the struts thinking that was it. If anyone has any idea of what this could be let me know. I'm thinking maybe its the a arm or a ball joint but not sure. If anyone has any information please let me know Thanks

Can you give some more information? When does it occur? How often? What type of noise is it specifically? Any other specifics.

Better's right: Need more info.

But here's a stab: Sway bar bushings. Get some silicone spray into the bushings where the bar passes through and on the end-links. If this helps it may be time for new bushings.

It does it worse as i hit bumps. Any lil bump makes it do this and i sprayed som PB on arms to see if that helped and it didnt.... I mean i had struts replaced few weeks ago and it was still there and im totally lost on what it could be...

Try greasing your outer-tie rods, they are re-greasable. Plus 1 on the front sway bar, I would use white lithium grease, from my experience when your ball joints start to go, they tick.
Try spraying the WLG on your A arm bushings. There are kits you can buy off Ebay that replace all of your bushings, including the rack pinion casing bushings, when those go bad, your wheels will start to rub on your frame when you turn the wheel completely left or right.
Also, your rotors could be glazed, from having some kind of grease on your rotors. Check your brake pads. Are they shiny and completely flat. Your rotors would be shiny and glazed looking as well, when you hit a bump, that could the rotor hitting the brake pads.

What he said. I'm 90% sure this is a tie rod end needing some white lithium grease. This is sounds exactly what happens when that's the case.
