    This squeak only happens when the wheel is straight. It squeaks when I rock the vehicle back and forth or up and down. It also seems to go away (or is less noticable) when driving above 15~20mph.

    Put your hand on things while someone makes the noise and feel for the vibrations or spray things with silicone while shaking, wait like 10 seconds while shaking and see if the noise changes

    I greased the ball joint (JBA) before making that video, so I didn't think that solved the problem. I even drove around the block a couple times.

    After my post, I drove a few miles, going over some large speed humps during my drive. At the moment, the up and down squeak is gone and so is the back and forth. I'm still getting some squeaking when rocking the vehicle side to side. I think tomorrow or Friday when it's slightly warmer, I'll lift the front off of the ground and grease it again to see if that helps. I'm sure the other side will need it too.
