The front end squeeks when driving, braking, turning, and/or if you push on the front.  Does this sound like a spring or bushing problem or anything else?

This could be the ball joints.

Jack it up on some jack stands and check for anything loose. it can be a ball joint or bushings or your struts. Best bet is to look in a sunday flyer and look for a place that does free checks. have them put it on a lift and check it all out.

The problem with checking it on jackstands is the ball joint is not loaded like when it's on the ground. The wear area in the socket my be tight when the suspension is drooping.

By the way. Ball joints are a common wear item on Mustangs and it's pretty ugly when they fail.

Im having the same problem on my 00'' GT, i seen in alot of posts (this problem).  I was told many things but i think its either the balljoint or some bushing.   Im still wondering what it is and its becomming increasingly more of a concern. The only difference is the squeeking stops when im on the brakes.
