Strange behavior at low speeds

I have an 06 with 64k miles. It drives absolutely perfectly. But when I go over speed bumps at low speeds, I notice some strange stuff. I hear a weird squeek type of noise from the front left suspension area, and I also feels weird at the back, sorta like the rear diff is loose or something? But it drives perfectly fine otherwise.

I did a search and some people say this is normal behavior and others say its an expensive fix.

the rear sounds like a blown shock. check it out for leaking residue.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Could be the common control arm bushing/ball joint issue.

Also check your subframe bolts on the rear.

I don't have a lift or anything so its hard to tell. I may just take it to an indie shop to have them see whats up with it.
