Suspension groan

Hey Folks
Brand new member to the board
I am finally a Mustang owner again after 25 years without one !
Will post photos and mods as they happen
Heres my problem (2006 V6 Manual Trans)
I have looked here and on other boards, without a definitive answer
I have replaced many items on the front suspension (lower control arms with bushings, sway bar end links and bushings, outer tie rod ends, front struts and mounts )
However a suspension creak/groan has shown up and I cant find it
It occurs over speed bumps (long up and down suspension travel) but does NOT occur over those same bumps when I have my foot fairly firmly on the brake
This noise does NOT occur when turning the steering wheel and I cannot duplicate the noise on a car lift or on jack stands or simply bouncing the car by hand
I have sprayed the control arm bushings and any other rubber items with silicone to try to isolate the noise---no luck
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Struts or strut mount maybe...

I feel your pain. I drive myself nuts chasing down squeaks and rattles.
