Easy question i hope

My 2005 expy squeaks / grunts when i bounce it or if im driving over a bump. Before i get the shocks replaced i'd like to verify that is what it is and not something simpler.

You can try getting under there and giving each rubber bushing a blast of WD-40, one at a time. Then test to see if the noise goes away. When it does you've found the offending bushing. If that doesn't do it, then you can try disconnect the shocks one at a time for the same reason. You could reduce the time for all of this testing if you could narrow the noise down to a specific wheel first. Then you would only have to do this at that one wheel.
