Got under the car in my drive way and pushed up and pulled Down on the car. Squeaking comes from both sides and I can't pen point it. Any suggestions?

Bushings. As far as which bushing/bushings it is, who knows. Could be sway bar, toe, etc.

Did it just randomly start doing that or is that how it has been? One way to try to fix it is to drive it up on ramps (or get in a pit) and loosen and re-tighten all your nuts and bolts that are at bushing joints.

If someone tightened them with the car up in the air, they'll have the incorrect pre-load on them.
