Sorry. My hearing isn't the best, so all that I can hear is a crunching sound, not a squeal. So, here's a bump hoping that someone else will be able to hear it.

Not sure? Grease everything up front a see if that helps. You could spray some penetrating oil at the pivot points. Anything appear to be leaking? Otherwise it might be time to do tie rod ends. Maybe a ball joint or cv joint would make that noise too but I'm not sure as I've never had to replace one.

Are you talking about the squeaking sound or the slight popping sound?

The squeeking is the problem, sorry about that the crunching is the gravel in the driveway
