horrible squeaking front end! 140-160 1972

Hi all,
This sound is horrible! Finger nails on chalkboard has nothing on this. It seems mostly to come from the passenger side front suspension. AND, when I turn the wheels left or right. So, as I drive, with bumps and turns it is a constant cacophony. It doesn't happen in the mornings, only after I drive it awhile or in the afternoons. Once it starts it is unbearable, I have tried to pin point the sound with no luck. I'm not familiar with steering/suspension. I've sprayed grease on all the articulating parts. Still screeching! Any suggestions, before I take it to the shop. And no, there's no cat stuck in there, I checked for that too.

Thanks,
Samuel

Oh, about a year ago there was new rubber (bushings) put in the front end. Before I owned it though.
