I have the tein tension rods. Havent heard anything weird up front. I dont have the tie rods tho. Is it a constant sound or just when you turn?

i have tein tie rods/ends, it hasnt come off the jackstands yet tho. my guess would be because the pillowball mounts, since there is no type of bushing, its gonna squeek

the noise is only present when driving over bumps and usually if more weight is on one side....turning....i'm guessing it is the pillowball mounts but just would like confirmation...i plan on taking a look when i get time to make sure everything is sound and secure.
