There isn't any slack in the steering, and no issues with ride quality. It only squeaks when I turn the wheel slowly either way. No issues going down the road or over bumps. I'll get it up on a jack tomorrow to see if there is any play in the wheel. What is a CV?

That thing with boots on both sides that connects your axle to the hub is a CV

What I meant is does it squeak constantly when you turn, or is it just when you hit bumps and turn.

That sounds like it is gonna be further up there in the steering components. If you video it with your phone, post it on YouTube so we can hear it

It is a squeak and not a squeel, right? Like I said, noises are hard to explain, and harder to diagnose

Meauxjeaux2 would know what it was off of the top of his head, but as of now, I am just using the process of elimination. Eventually that one little piece of info will come through and it'll be obvious.

A video where you put your phone on the ground and turn it would be best. It ONLY happens when you are moving?

Or it could be something as little as a bushing went bad

This is a zerk fitting. It either came with the BJ and you had to screw it in, or it didn't. You need need a grease gun to put grease in it
