Squeak from front right?

Whenever i drive over an uneven road surface my t-jet has started to sound like theres a mouse squeaking somewhere in the car.
It sounds like its coming from the front left suspension. Its very annoying and can be heard above my radio.

It doesnt do it when going over a speed hump, just when the road surface is even, i thought it was the front passenger seat but ruled that out, along with any dashboard noise.

Anyone else had this problem?. will be phoning the dealer up tomorrow to get it looked at before it drives my mad.

My doors have developed a creak over uneven road surfaces - as did my last GP. With the last one, I mentioned this to Thames Slough and they rectified it at the first attempt. I think the problem was actually something inside the rear panel of my two-door car.
