Default Squeaking?

I just rebuilt my front end suspension and steering components and got new tires, alignment, etc. Now there's a squeak coming from the front pass side. As I accelerate it gets louder and faster and if I let off the gas it stops. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Does it completely stop or just stop getting worse? What about as you slow down while coasting does the noise decrease?

Brakes, Rotors?

As soon as I let off the gas I can't hear it. Not saying it isn't there, but it's definitely not loud at that point. As I slow down I don't hear it either. Only when accelerating.

They looked fine to me when I was in there I did spray a de squeaker on the back of the pads and cleaned the rotors and pads with brake cleaner. What's bugging me is it didn't do this before I tore it apart.

Thanks guys.

Does it squeak when you're not moving but revving the engine? Did you open the cap on the brake fluid reservoir when you pushed the calipers back? If not you may need to bleed the brakes. What kind of squeak, a rotating one, suspension one?
