2KAE/5sp Squeak From RF when under load!

After 10k troublefree miles, I'm hearing a sqeaking noise in the RF of the car at initial takeoff or mild acceleration in traffic. Normal driving presents no noise, so it's only occurring under load. I searched for a TSB or related topic and found none. Could it be the strut, motor mount, fender liner, or the LSD? Any ideas or previous experience would be very appreciated! Thanks..

I have been plagued by that since 5K miles. Dealer couldn't find a thing because I could never replicate the problem during a ride along with the tech. Now, at 30K, the tech heard it pulling the car into the service bay. Strut bearing was worn out and wearing unevenly. It's being fixed under warranty next week...I'll let you know what happens then.
