Just replaced upper control arm, lower ball joints, stabilizer bar links and bushings, wheel bearings, and both inner and outer tie rods. The original components were very worn out. Did this to both sides of the vehicle. Upon driving it for a test run, I noticed a quite loud squeak going straight at a slow to moderate speed. Was wondering what it could possibly be.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, confirm the brakes are okay. You did a lot of work on it. Check to make sure one of the backing plates behind the brake rotor isn't bent and touching the rotor. It can happen easily.

Let me know if there is anything you can do to change the sound or pitch. For example, does it change when turning or applying the brakes?

Let me know.
