Lately I notice that when I drive the car over uneven surface (pulling into sloped driveway) or up and around a parking garage that there i some "noise" which sounds like it is coming from the suspension (i.e. it only occurs when the car is rocking). Any ideas? I am going to have to take it to the dealer for a service soon, but I would like to have an idea of what I may be facing. Car has 23K on it.

Squeaky creaky like old metal bed springs and more noticeable at low speeds? If so, sounds like ball joints and maybe lower control arm. I had this happen, but at more like 40k. It seems to be common though.

Can be a little costly - had all of my front ball joints and control arms replaced ended up being around $2900, thanks to warranty covered it.
