Is this a sign of a worn out suspension?

Everytime I go over a moderate sized bump or dip in the road my car makes loud squeaking sounds. Does this mean the suspension is worn out? I belive the suspension on my car is still stock.

It could just be that the suspension bushings are bad. If the shocks are still stockers, you'll definitely want to replace those as well, but that's where I'd start. If it's all stock, they're probably about due for replacement anyways. If that doesn't help, get a buddy to bounce up and down on the car while you stick your ear around under there and see if you can pin-point the squeakiness and go from there.
