I have a squeek in the front when i turn the front wheel. Looked all over for a grease fitting and came up with nothing. Maybe some bushings need replaced. Any ideas guys?

Is the squeak apparent with a right as well as left turn? Has the front wheel been off lately? Loosen the front axle and retighten according to the service manual procedure. You may have something "dragging". Maybe a wheel bearing. Good luck.

Squeeks when you spin the wheel?  or when you turn the bars left or right?

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.
