Unknown suspension squeak

So pretty much every time i hit a bump my car makes a squeak noise. It seems as though its coming from front driver's side. However if it's in park i can get out and push down and jostle all the corners and stuff, no noise at all. Now this car has 125xxx miles and i'm assuming the suspension is still original, think this is something minor or is the whole thing about due for replacement?

+1. By bushings, he means sway bar end link bushings, outer tie rod, inner tie rod, control arm bushings. I would also check your strut mounts as well.

We have some great deals on replacement parts if you are not looking to do an upgrade, but to get the stock feel back.

If struts are original, that is your low hanging fruit.
