Intermittent RF squeak when steering at low speed

My 2017 Sienna AWD with 110K miles is making a squeak. It's my everyday car, and I live in the Northeast. The noise seems to come from the front right when I turn at slow speeds. It reminds me of a dry bushing. It only happens when I turn the wheel, never when I drive over bumps. The tires look good, and the handling feels normal. I tried spraying the strut mount, but that didn't help

Has anyone had this happen before?
 
Try this...remove the wheel and try moving the sway bar links or control arms by hand; if you feel play or hear a squeak, that's likely the culprit.
 
I was gonna say some suspension rubber, but since you don't hear it over bumps, that's probably not it. @D.A hannah is on the right path with this and if that's not it, it could also be a dry ball joint or tie rod end.
 
Since it only happens when turning at low speeds, have you noticed if it's louder in the morning, after sitting, or does it stay consistent throughout the day?
