I've posted my guess on this a few times over the past year or so, but I
guess it's time to do it again.

My front end squeaks quit after I replaced my front springs with a pair with
much lower mileage.  Front end guy said all  of the rubber parts were
stressed because they were in an unnatural position.

I'll believe that's where the noise came from until someone can prove me
wrong.
