My front driver side of the van TRUCK squeaks....no matter what. The slightest movement up and down causes it to squeak. any ideas?

Check your tension rod bushings, mine squeaked. Also check the ball joints maybe they need some grease.

lube (greese) your front end good, if it even has zerks fittings, make sure your shock is tight, check the tension rod bushings (look at the back side of the lower control arms, the bushings that go through the frame)

These are the tension rod bushings:

 

 

If they are not sitting in the little bushing cups or move a lot when you bounce the truck I would replaced them. They squeaked real bad on mine every time I got in or out of the truck, or hit any little crack or bump when I was going slow enough to hear it.
