I had a similar squeak, put up with it for a day or 2 and decided it was time to take a look. At first I thought it may have been my coil-over going (check this for oil leaks) and make sure your spring is seated correctly.

Mine was okay so I took the wheel off and tightened all of the suspension bolts with my torque wrench. When I got to the drivers side toe adjustment I found it was loose and causing the squeaking.

In my case the alignment shop failed to tighten it, if you just had an alignment it could be a suspect. Good Luck !

Jack up that side and move the wheel side to side @ 9 and 3 o'clock. Then @ 12 and 6 o'clock. Check if any ball joints or tie rods are gone.

Check bolts first then the bushings on the lower control arm, the bushing closest to the rear of the car is prone to cracking/breaking causing a squeak...
