hi there
could be the drop links, the anti roll bushes tend to chatter when worn.
might also be dry ball bearing rings at the top of the suspension.

hi there
re the bearing runs. just use the straw on a can of wd-40 up and under the mounting.
the drop links can be checked with the wheels off.

Don't rule out the anti-roll bar bushes....I've had them squeek before, when they started warming up due to friction. They weren't ripped up, but very smooth & shiney due to the anti-roll bar being worn down slightly 
Give 'em a good spray (I find teflon lubricant quite good) & see if the noise dissappears
