1998 Ford Crown Victoria Making Noise - Chassis, Suspension & Steering

Question: My car makes a horrible squeeking sound when turning left. It sounds like a door hinge that needs oiled but it is a lot louder. It makes a little noise when turning right, but it is very loud when turning left. It also appears to make the same noise when I push down on the front end of the cat. It makes no difference if I am sitting still or moving and speed makes no difference either. What do you think the problem is?

Owner: By the way, I tried spraying wd40 and lithium grease in every moving part of the suspension on the driver's side but it did not help. also, the noise is coming from the left front side of the car

Technican: Hello, Try removing the left front wheel and have someone else turn the steering so you can feel and listen for the cause. Try supporting the car by the frame rail so that the left lower control arm does not bear weight. Grease the ball joint and the outer tie rod end. If you can isolate the noise to one of these parts, but there is no grease zerk, the part will likely need replaced. On some occasions I have had success with a very small gauge grease needle piercing the exsisting boot on the part and get grease in that way. The tiny hole made won't really have much consequence and hopefully you can buy some time if the part has not worn out. Your thoughts?,
