Question- At low speeds my frint end driver side sqeeks. It also squeeks when making turns at low to mid speeds, going over speed bumps and uneven roads . I have read that it might be the sway bar link bushings, or the strut mounts.... In park when I open then hood and move the front end up and down and side to side I don't hear anything. What could be causing this squeeking and is this something that can be greased and fixed?

Spray some rubber lubricant on the suspect parts. See if that causes the noise to dissipate. If not, then you'll have to look elsewhere. Brakes? Good way to test for brake noise in the situations you mention is to lightly press the pedal and see if that changes the noise or makes it go away.

I bought some Synthetic grease tonight and rubbed it around the sway bar links. I will see tomorrow about the noise. I did also read about brakes being the problem but I am not sure that would be the cause. They do not make noise when I brake light or heavy. Would they make noise while driving? If so what area of the braking would be the problem in a case like this?
