Hi everyone ive had a problem suddenly develop on m 53 plate mk1 octavia vrs. When i accelerate i get an intermittent squeak like its pulsing almost. It squeaks a few times then stops until i accelerate again. Ive had the farb bushes and drop links replaced recently and had the front tyres and four wheel alignment done last week. And i cant figure out where its coming from exactly as i cant replicate it when stationary. Im stumped?

Edit: when the car is jacked up the top mounts sit right on top of the turret but when the car is sitting on its wheels again theres about a 15-20mm gap between the top plate and the turret. Is this relavent. I jus jacked the side up i think its coming from and cant find any evidence of play, leaking cv joints, weeping dampers or issued with the calipers.
