When I drive over bumps and stuff the front of my car squeaks. Is this due to bad suspension components like struts or shocks? Should I buy upgraded front suspension?

It started in the cold weather so I will wait until summer to see if problem continues. Thanks.

Cold weather creates all sorts of interesting creaks and groans.

Driver would know what cold really is !!
bushings that are dried out will squeak when cold.
A good indicator of what needs to be replaced.
Tension rod Bushings and such need to be replaced before they fail or cause other components to wear prematurely.
Rubber components on a 18 year old car need attention !!!
