Default squeak noise

I can hear squeak noises in the driver side when I go over bumps on the driveway out into the roads. Even at low speed say 10mph I can hear the noises cuz the driveway sucks.
Is this spring/shock issues? My car is bouncy, when I go over bumps it squeaks. Any idea what the problem may be? I'm not sure if squeak is a better term to describe this situation.
Think of how your bed is like when you move a lot it just wear off and you hear squeak noises. The noise goes up and down up and down. Hope that make sense.

Also when I turn right corner the left side scrap. I am almost definitely sure there is nothing hanging from underneath. I am thinking maybe the problem lies somewhere. I could have a bad cv joint but I could be wrong. Does anybody have a clue what it might be?

Have you tried bouncing the car up and down in the driveway to see if the squeak is there? If so it's most likely strut related.

I haven't but I think you're right. My struts are probably bad. I'll check that out.

You know, I'm going to have to replace all that as well. It's been 2-3 yrs now I haven't change anything on the car except for oil and AICV. It drives like **** on highways feels like something is going to break lol. F**k I can't even speed up past 65 mph. I can sense something in the front is not so good.

Probably bad tie rods maybe ball joints. I would take it somewhere and have a inspection done on it. I know firestone will inspect for free at least in my area

Took it to firestone to have it inspected. Tied rods and ball joints looks good..they couldn't really figure out what the problem is..but they think possible rack and pinion, will need another tech to double check. Can somebody verify this?

What I'm going to do is change my left front tire cuz it's the wrong size. I had changed my right front already, but it appears the weight may have fallen off.

This could be basically any suspension related part. Check your strut and bushings.
