My guess is gonna be A-Arm bushings, or swaybar bushings (if not the links themselves). A little WD40 or silicone lube may or may not help find it. Could always take a hypodermic syringe, fill it full of grease and squirt it into your ball joint boots also to ensure they're sufficiently lubricated, though they'll typically squeal like hell to practically any steering input or response to the road. The majority of the time it's one of the previously mentioned bushings.
Yet another way in which solid axle shines - if you have a creak or squeak chances are you'll find it in 5-10 minutes.

This, nothing a little moly can't solve though. Most people like Whiteline include a little packet with your bushings, very handy dandy to keep in the glovebox! Actually just had to grease up my new Dorman bushings today, since every time the car tilted forwards they produced this annoying honking sound/squeak. Heard (and hoping) it goes away eventually.
