Unhappy Mystery Squeek

I have this consistant mystery "squeek" - seeming to come from the front right - somewhere. I have tried EVERYTHING to find it - to no avail. It does NOT do it at rest (tried rocking, pushing up and down on the springs - nothing) It only seems to do it when mobile??? Anyone else had mystery "squeeks" that drive them NUTS !!!????
The thing doesnt make any other sounds (Apart from the yummy "7" purr. . .

My bet is brakes. I bet the rotor is slightly warped or something. Try lubricating the brake caliber where it moves rides on the bolts (poor terms, but you know what mean).

I had a mystery squeak from the front - whenever I shut the doors, or hit high frequency bumps. I just started lightly pounding around the inside of the fender, then the radiator... It turned out to be the radiator mounts. A little WD and a retightening... Squeak was gone. Hate things like that though, it could be a million different reasons...

I have too many squeaks to hunt down, that's why I need to save money for a complete rebuild, inside and out. I almost wish I still worked for Uncle Sam, at least then I wouldn't have to worry about food or rent. :S
