Default arggghhhhh!!!!!! stupid phantom noise

I have this annoying squeak in my car, and i cant figure out what it is. Seems to be coming from the front right of my car, when i am driving. Its not a squeal like a brake squeal, it sounds more hollow almost like something wobbling. I thought at first it was from braking but then i realized that it does it when not braking too, seems to be a suspension noise but i am not for sure. Just wondering since we all have the same rides maybe someone else has had this rattle too and could save me the $$$ of having it sent in and looked at.

Had a similar noise in my 91 and it was my hood. Adjusted the stops and that fixed the noise

I use synthetic chassis lube, you could use any of the spray grease products as well. Red Grease ect.
