I noticed the same thing with my car. Seems to be most noticable when I first back out of the driveway and roll onto the street. I get a little groan from the front suspension. Notice it also when going over speed bumps.

I had this exact squeak in my car. It turned out to be the passenger side front brake line that rubbed against the passage from the wheel well to the motor compartment.
And it was very easy to eliminate. Just grease the brake line in that area.

Passenger side, front wheel well:

sorry for the crappy pic.

Squeeks are as unique as their owners. Every one will have a different source, but I'll tell you the one I just tracked down......

My hood prop was rubbing against the Comptech Intake the other day. Very evident at low speeds, idling at a stop, or bumps. I have now removed the hood prop and ordered the NRG hood dampers.

Again, it could be a dozen things causing it. You'll probably have to dive in and start checking/wiggling everything you can.

Fun, fun, fun.

I had a crazy sqeeking problem coming from my rear passenger side everytime i went over a bump or a tiny dip at low speeds. found out that one of my upper arm bolts was a little loose. that could be one of the problems, but as hockey said, it could be other things as well
