moving Squeak suspension noise> not sure where it's coming from

Has anyone experienced a squeak that sounds like a bird chirping when going down the road?

This noise is in the front end and has a fast chirp noise and has to be when the suspension is going up and down. It is more accented when the morning has wet and cold air. It literally is exactly like birds chirping, it is not effected by speed, turning, etc.

Ask some questions for me to answer. does not do it when hitting big bumps, it is intermittent, it will do it just going down the hwy and normal up down suspension movement. I will work on a vid to see how to duplicate.

We have one in our Ex. I have it figured out, I just haven't tried to fix it yet. Ours' is actually coming from the driver's side seatbelt. When I move at just the right speed the seatbelt ratchet squeaks, it was crazy annoying when I didn't know what it was, now that I know it doesn't concern me as much.

Oh yeah, seat belt blues.
This is external, you have to have the windows down to hear it.
I crawled under and sprayed all pivot points I could think of

Maybe the Leaf Spring mount location? Is there a rubber in there?

Seemed to help todays drive, it was a there but not as amplified.

I believe the dreaded body/frame mounts have been known to cause this noise. I know exactly the noise you speak of.
