loud squeaking

when i first start my car and lightly and slowly step on the gas theres a bad squeaking noise coming from the right suspension/tire area. could it be worn out bushings??

When I drive through the alley (which have some ups and downs in the asphault), I have a squeaking noise from the same area/spot you are and I have no idea what that could be? My squeaking is only heard when going on bumps or going into mini potholes.
Somebody must know the answer to this question.

They could be the bushings from the control arm. Go to www.energysuspension.com they sell a bushings kit for the arms...

Does it happen as you are DRIVING the car or is it IDLING. If you're driving, check the suspension. If you're stationary check your belts. They're on the right too...

crap is while im driving. someone told me when your brakes get worn out enough sometimes they can hang and end up scraping the rotor? but my scraping is when i first start to go in the car for a few miles. then after the miles the squeaking goes away.
