Chirping sound when going over bumps

Everytime I go over a bump and have the gas pressed my car squeaks from the front passenger side. But if I put it in nuetral and go over the bump it doesnt squeak or even in gear without the gas pressed. It only squeaks when i go over a bump with the gas pedal pressed. By bumps a mean lil bumps, like lil normal rivets you can hear it.
I thought it was the ball joints, but I check those out and they are fine. Had the car on a lift nothing in the suspension or cross member seems loose. Everything looked good. Im kinda at a loss for what it could be.

Another problem I have is a vibration from 50 - 60 mph only. Tires are balance correctly and not even a month old, alignment done with tires, and a new center motor mount, all the other mounts seem to be fine.
any input would be helpful

This actually sounds like the passenger's side CV joint or wheel hub. Tackle the CV joint in the axle first(or just buy a new axle from Pep Boys, they offer a limited lifetime warranty on rebuilt axles so any time it isn't right, take it down to them and get a new one for free!). My bet is that the boot got ripped, the grease that was packed in there is scattered over the past 1k miles you drove, and the cv joint is happily chewing on itself (funky angles get funky noises, and when you go over bumps it gets itself into a funky angle). Your axles don't really have load on them when you're in neutral (the amount of load is negligible, anyway) but when in gear you've got a lot of pressure on the gears in that axle, so it's probably yelping about lack of grease.

That explains the noise, it explains the signature wobble around 50-60, and it's a relatively cheap fix. Have a look under there while it's in neutral and slowly turn the wheel by hand. I'm betting you'll be able to fit your finger in the rip in the cv boot.
