just driving in normal conditions my front right side squeaks what are the possibilities it could be?

It could be...
a) dry or worn bushings
b) a pissed-off mouse in the right front side

Grease everything and see if it goes away...it's probably bushings somewhere.

Do you by chance have polyurethane bushings? They are notorious for squeaking (especially control arms).

I'm putting my money on (b)!!:D

It could also be a body bolt that has backed out just a bit, allowing a couple of the body parts to rub and squeak. Lots of possiblities!!!!

I second that. I bought an Energy Suspension kit and mine squeak so badly when there's a lot humidity - which, in florida, is all the time. It very well might be the road noise if you have polyurethane. If you're ball joints or something of the like were faulty, you'd hear more of a clunk/crunch rather than a squeak.

also, try replacing the struts and/or springs. worn struts & shocks can make the whole front end sloppy and noisy.
