Get someone to bounce the front end while you touch the guide rod. You may "feel" the squeak.
If it is the guide rods, there's no immediate rush to replace. Uneven/increased wear on the tires is the only real driver.

The rear guide rod mounts will cause more of a thump or clunk than a squeak. The car will also "wander" while driving.
Leaving the car on the ground (not jacking) and rocking the car back and forth is the way to check the rear mounts. If guide rod "pulls in and out" of the mount as you rock the car back and forth.... The mount is shot.
