This is more than likely a worn suspension bushing. The side that squeeks is probably your culprit. Check the lower control arm bushings for cracking and excessive wear.

i had a noise like that. It was the lower ball joint. I bought an aerosol can of GREASE. Then I cut a small hole in the boot above the joint and filled it with grease using the small plastic tube you get with the aerosol. It has to be repeated periodically
