Yet another general front end squeak question

Hey everyone! So, ever since I got my car, there has been this squeak noise that happens while the car is moving forward. It's not an up and down suspension travel noise (I don't think), but more of a rotational noise. I have replaced front hubs (due to play), all pads and rotors (due to low measurements), UCA's and LCA's. I need to do a LF hub again due to bearing noise, its still nice and tight though. I need to replace strut rod bushings where they meet the LCA's because they are completely shot, but I don't think that would be causing my noise. When I even just tap the brakes, the noise goes away, or when I turn slightly to the right. So it seems like, when the front end, or the LF gets loaded up with weight, the rotational squeak noise stops. It does if from about 10 MPH and up. I thought I heard it on the highway, at about 72 MPH on the way home last night with all the windows open. It's loud as hell and I need to figure out what is causing it. What are some possibilities of the cause of this noise? :confused:
 
Yea, but I already did hubs once, and it was still present even after replacing the hubs.
 
No other ideas? I mean, it is a possibility that the squeak is from the noisy (humming) hub. The only reason that I didn't think it was that, was because last time I replaced the front hubs, about a year ago, with the biggest hunks of junk I could find, it still made that noise. But that maybe could be because I got crap parts to begin with? This time I'm thinking of going with some Motorcraft hubs from Tasca.
