Squeak on acceleration

I have recently started to hear a squeak from my front and so I thought right away brakes. Tore it apart and pads still have half life, nothing rubbing/grinding (just from looking at it) and so I greased it all put and still have the squeak. As soon as I let off the throttle or hit the brakes it goes away! Any ideas? Its driving me crazy!

Sure its not a byproduct of your right foot?!

I would try the Tie rods, suspension joints, etc. Maybe the weight shift on acceleration is causing some unwanted rubbing of those parts.

Belt dressing really isn't meant for serpentine drives. Might work for a few days, but if you're having belt slips it's just time to cough up the $45 for a new one.
