Driver's side suspension issue

ok car started to make a little noise. now it has gotten to a point where it just squeeks while i drive. Makes the noise when i drive up on speed bumps and while steering left or right. I thought it might be the shocks cause i pushed the car up and down and it squeeks, But didnt explain why it would make the noise while steering? so i looked it up and figured it will be a upper control arm soo.. i figure i should post the issue i will record it!! and do a follow up on what it is and try to record the repair work done by me and my buddy. i join this forum so yall can see the progress of my new project welcome to acuzine folkz i here to stay! I dont really know which way i wanna go. lookin for function and style. best bang for ya buck. Turbo TL how come no one is boosting there 2g TL's?

Ok me and my friend inspected the suspension and everything looked good no play in the wheel, the thing we saw was there was a pencil size hole in the axle boot im guessing real recent.. so we concluded that the hole was letting out axle greese and letting moisture into the boot and rusted so when cold it was makeing that noise but when warm or whatever didnt make any noise.. well on the way back home i didnt hear the noise so i guess it is only when cold?...
