As for the squeaking up front, it can be a pain to isolate it down, but I often see it caused by the struts themselves. And sometimes the ball joint end of the lower control arm or the thrust arm. Maybe try pumping a shot of grease in each ball joint with a grease needle to see if they are getting dried out and creaking. Or if the rubber boots are torn just spray a shot of penetrating lube in there to see if it quiets it up.

A few things you said, brought up good points.
You mentioned ball joints. I should add that there is no bumping, clunking, or knocking of any kind. Sorry, should of said that. Which I believe would be a symtom of a ball joint.
And I should of specified that the squeaking is only coming from the rear. I hope that I can get two birds with the one fix. I hope the upper control arm pivot is worn and it is also squeaking.
So you think that even tho no visible ware is seen, it prolly is bushings?
Thanks for your help.
