Have you by any chance fitted new bushes of any kind as I had a simiar problem on a golf when I swapped the anti roll bar (swaybar to u) drop link bushes and didnt do one of the bolts up properly, give all the bolts in the area thats squeeking a good torque up as it can be hard to tell wether theyve been done up properly.
If only I hadnt bought the bike, this would feel fast :P

I'd suggest the same thing - I replaced the two front antiroll bar links and eliminated a squeak and light knocking sound I was getting.
