I have got the most annoying squeak, Its on the front and rear suspension.

Happens when turning, going over bumps.

I've got new cones all round, new rear bushes, Spax adj suspension with good bushes. 

 

It also happens when I turn from lock to lock whilst stationary.

 

Driving me nuts!

I had a really annoying noise that took me an age to track down.  In my case it was the shock absorber bushes.  I know you say that yours are good, but it's still worth a check, visually mine were fine and there was no obvious play, but they squeaked none the less!

 

If the noise is only from one side, it may be worth swapping the shocks from side to side and see if it moves.

 

Also (for the front), check the upper suspension mounting is bolted securely to the car, mine was loose, not obviously so, but there was plenty of play when I torqued the bolts.

Im going to do the bushes first, as they are cheapest!
