I second (third?) checking out the ball joints.  The boots on most (if 
not all) of our ball joints are cracked, and we developed a terrible 
ee-ee-ee-eeee....e-ee (sounds just like that!) noise after the dust, 
rocks, and incredible suspension travel of a few thousand mi in Mexico.  
Finally blasted loads of grease into the joints via the convieniently 
cracked boots, et voila!
