The plastic bushing on the top of your front struts can squeak. I covered mine in grease when I added the pregressors under the front springs and the squeaking I had went away.

Either that or maybe the struts? Mine make a bit of a squeak when dusty.

Oh ya, you probably have McPherson strut. Not sure if it makes a diff.
