If the bushings wear enough (usually are 95% of the squeaking problems) the front wheel alignment can change and can wear the tires faster if not make the vehicle pull to one side of or the other.

There are rubber bushings on the bolts that attatch to the frame that keeps some of the vibration and noise down. They can dry out or harden and can either fall out or twist enough to wear metal to metal.
