My AV used to make what sounded like suspension squeeks. And lots of them,...It turned out to be the slip fitting on the drive shaft. As it was explained to me, it can get a little corrosion on it and start to get stickey, and making noise when it slides to allow for flexing in the vehicle and thus changes in the distance between the diff, and transmission. I used to get noises when stopped; upon starting out; just taking my foot off the brake; going over speed bumps; going through intersections,... etc. Any time the suspension had to change. The only problem,... the drive shaft wasn't balanced with the new part and I now have a vibration at highway speeds,... going in the shop in the morning.
