Is it like a creak when turning the steering wheel? How old is the vehicle? It could possibly be an outer tie rod end, when the grease evacuates and they get dry they will squeek when you turn the wheel.

Never mind how old it is, I just saw your sig. Being so new it probably isn't a tie rod end but stranger things have happened.

Sorry just read your signiture, it looks like you are stock. Jam nuts are used on lift kits. The are the locking nut for adjustable control arms. But like I said if you are stock then you wont have these.
