I am experiencing squeaking from my suspension when driving at low speed going over small bumps. Are their lubrication needs on the suspension? The noise is coming from all four corners as the suspension "Flexes" going over the uneven surface.

If the noise was just the front, I would say compression rod bushings. Since it is all four corners, I would say either shocks/struts or control arm bushings.

i bet you money its just your front end...although it sounds like its from all over

Its the compression rod bushings. Get some new revised ones and get them installed. You'll be back to normal without that squeaky sound.

How much would it cost me to replace and install the compression rod bushings? Just an estimate for future reference would be nice... so I don't get ripped off.

depends how you do it and if you do it yourself.

If you buy new rods it will be $360 for both new. REVISED Bushings should only cost $40 and will fix the problem, but you will need to press them in. If you don't have access to a hydraulic press you can pay $60 for the dealer to press them for you. Install at a shop should cost 1 hr of labor per side.

If you install new arms at a shop : $550 ish

If you buy just new bushings and pay for labor it should be around $250-$300.

If you the work yourself, and have access to a press it will only cost $40.
