Mystery squeek
It was a beautiful morning today in sunny Tampa, Florida, so I decided to put the top down for the cruise in to work. While driving in the left hand lane next to the construction barriers, I could hear a squeek coming from the drivers side of the car. It only happens when 1) I am braking and 2) I go over a bump. Doesnt happen when either of those things happen independently.
Any ideas?

Definitely sounds like brakes. I would start there.

If it was brakes it wouldn't do it when you go over a bump, unless your on the brakes at the time. Going over the bump flexes the suspension, specifically the control arm bushings. Are they New? If so some graphite in the joints may quiet it down. Bounce the car up and down a bit with it sitting in the driveway and see if it squeeks.
