2016 RAM 1500 has annoying squeak in suspension and in the steering. Most noticeable when driving straight. Seems to stop when making left or right turns.

I recently had similar issues. Mine predominately occurred with slight steering left and right at low speeds or idled. Brought it in and likely upper/lower control arm and ball joint issues. Seals for the ball joints come from factory sealed and packed with grease, once the seal breaks they begin to degrade cause the grease is no longer kept in. It could also be worn/dry rotted bushings, I found a lot of those. I would bring it in for an inspection to check suspension/steering.

My '02 Ram did this at slow speed when steering left or right, and on slight bumps.

Ended up being ball joints/control arms.

If the post seems to be genuine I will still sometimes help, but when I first read this post and it appeared to be written by a third grader, yeah my time was better spent elsewhere.
