Squeaky problem

Hey guys im havina a problem with a squeaky front end. I came back from bein stationed in Japan for a year. When i drove around it has a squeak when i turned to the left. Not a long squeak but it sounded like it was my rotor rubbin against somethin but only at a specific spot. So like squeak pause squeak pause. This was just on the passenger side so i took off the caliper and rotor and reseated everything. Same thing. So now im drivin around and its annoying when i turn. Note this is only at a sharp slow turn when i hear it.
A week later i decide hey lets go slay the Dragon in TN. So me and my cousin go and go on a little spirited drive to NC through the dragon. Note. This was on a Monday and no traffic at all the entire time. After the first run i notice the squeak is happenin now on both sides so im like fawk!!!!! On our way back i go all out. LSD and everything goin through the curves. When i get near my house, i notice that the squeak is comin from both sides and while im not turning. So now im like WTF. Anyways idk what it is i think it may be my axles goin bad? Havent changed any of my bearings out or bushings. Lowered on Megan springs and stock dead struts. All rotors are brand new powerslot slotted rotors and all new pads.

HELP ME PLZZZ!

If you can replicate the noise while the car is still then have someone turn the wheel, bounce the car and listen and look. It could be bad ball joints,buddies sentra does the same thing and his ball joint is bad. It could be you strut mounts, tie rods and your sway bar bushings.
