I suspect the strut cartridge itself, or perhaps the inner tie rod. The inner tie rod can have a horrible squeak, but it usually goes away after a while. The strut can make similar noises, but the tie rod is more suspect.

I could be dead wrong, but it is a frequent complaint. Solution: If the inner tie rod end is not worn out, grease it. Sometimes the grease dries out after years and years, and cooler weather brings out the worst behavior. or humid weather, or both.
