Default Front suspension noise...

Lately i've been putting up with a squeaking/squealing noise in the front left suspension- happens both up/down movement, as well as turning wheel left to right. AND it happens whether the car is moving or not- so its NOT the brakes, and NOT power steering. Its not a belt squeal. Definitely a creaking noise. I shot every joint i could find w/ lube- no help at all. I found this post below- sounds like a control arm issue- can anyone confirm this, or offer any other suggestions?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/308656.phtml">noise</a></li></ul>

Default i've been told it's control arms or tie rods. i just had my 98.5's tie rod recall taken...

care of and it fixed the problem a lot. Creaking is still audible, but nowhere near as bad as before. Audi campaign KW.
