Ball Joints?
I have driven my '03 TLS 10,000 miles and the other day i hear this squeaking coming from the front driver side tire. Everytime going over a bump or turning or basically driving squeak squeak squeak. Call the dealer and they are like, "oh its probably your ball joint needs to be regreased or replaced." Isnt this a little weird to happen to a car with 10,000 miles and pruchased in Sept 03? Anyone else have this problem?

Yup ... I did... I has 50,000kms and they replaced my lower ball joints... At the same time I got them to put Comptech Springs.
Now at 80,000kms ... and they are squeeking AGAIN... I don't think I'll be lucky this time.

I recently had both lower front ball joints replaced. I didn't hear squeaking, but felt a shudder in the wheel.
I prefer the old days when we could pump a dab of grease in them instead of having to wait and worry for them to fail.
-edit-
That was at 35k miles.
