If you had nylon sway bar bushings, I would bet money it's them. I don't
know if stock rubber bushings can squeak, but you could try lubricating
them.
I haven't heard the sound, but similar sounds can be caused by some of the
panels moving relative to each other. Are all bolts in place? Is the
radiator firmly secured? I don't know B's, but check around for something
like that.
Good Luck,
