Just noticed a pretty nasty squeak this morn going thru the drive
through. When I got to work I pressed down on the fender and
duplicated the noise quite easily. Any ideas ? Thanks

Seizing lower ball joint, most likely. Better get that checked out ASAP.

like tegger says, it could be a ball joint - that's expensive. but it
could also be a loose ball joint nut - that's not!

i had one a few months back - turned out i hadn't torqued it properly
and it was now loose and squeaking. inspected [to ensure it wasn't the
joint] and re-torqued, no more squeak.
