sounds like a siezed ball joint. i get it looked at very soon. siezed ball joints will snap and will more than likely rip apart your axle and damage the fender among other things.
been through it once before.

does it squeak only when you in over a bump? if not, it might not be the ball joints but i'd look into the brakes or the wheel bearings as a possible cause
