Started getting a weird creak/squeak from the driver side front end. I have replaced bushings on sway bar a year or 2 ago. Just changed the TRE and inner tie rods, and the shocks don’t seem to be the culprit. I’m thinking it’s the cv since my boot is f***ed , I had my wife turn it back and forth while I sprayed some lube to see what might be causing it. It seemed to stop after I sprayed inside the torn boot but I want a second opinion from my muddy buddy’s. What do yall think? video in link attached Squeaky100

I would say lower control arm bushing.

My 2nd guess.
Harbor Freight and $8 and you get yourself a Mechanics Stethoscope 
In my experience, creaking sound up front usually from control arm bushings (as @BullElk pointed out), but it could be your CV joint if it's been exposed and ingested dirt/sand/water. Sounds like you're already on the right path...any chance you have access to a lift to check? I was shocked by how bad my bushings were (UCAs) and how much noise they made.
