"Determine" is too big a word for me . . . I "figured out" it was the hub bushing by replacing it and the squeak went away! It was pretty much an educated guess. I had advice from GSXR and others, and I was able to closely inspect the other bushings -- they looked good (the hub bushing is hard to see). Finally, I think a failed bushing in another link including the inner LCA bushing would make a different noise -- the hub bushing's noise was definitely metallic. As a final note, the hub bushing really isn't a "bushing," it's more of a "flex joint."
