If the ball joints are squeaking...you will have to replace them, too late for grease now! As for the turn signal, check the pigtails for corrosion, that will be greenish colored paste inside!

You might want to have your local repair facility check the ball joints, control arm bushings, suspension, etc, etc etc.
As for the blinker, take the bulb off the left side & install it on the right side....if it works..you may be using the wrong bulb (even though it looks exactly alike).....if not you may have a electrical or contact issue. If the contacts on the bulb socket looks corroded, clean it. If not have a repair shop check it out.
Hope this helps.... Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!
