Default My car is starting to squeak.

I've been listening to my care closely, and everytime i go over bumpy roads i hear little squeaks. Also when i make right turns. Sometime left.

What could this be? Could this be my engine mounts? Shocks? i really don't know. I would just like to see if anyone had an idea before i take it to the dealer and have them charge me up the butt just to take my car for a test drive.

First, you must be able to determine if this squeak is going to affect the car mechanically (safety wise or operationally detrimental wise) or if it's just inconsequential parts getting dry, a bit loose or slightly shifted.
Squeaks and rattles as the car ages is pretty normal, especially on a car like this (very stiff suspension). Trying to find them and fix them could be an exercise in futility and can certainly take a lot of time and money. Is it really worth it to you? If so, then expect to put out time and money.

Not on this car specifically but shocks can squeak. This is one of the squeaks I would deem as "operational" and should be fixed.
