Have you checked tire balance? Also, check for a bent rim and let me know what you find.

Keep in mind, a vibration can come from a bad u-joint too, so you may want to check them too.

As far as the squeak, chance are it is the sway bar bushings. When it gets cold, they seem to make noise.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
