Scrunch sound when i hit bumps

I realize this issue is involved with the struts or ball joint or rubber bushing but was just curious if there was a common culprit?

car began making this noise on passenger side last summer after i hit some hard corners at high speed.

the sound is more common when it is cold out which is a lot here in alaska, it is now on both sides. it doesnt do it when i turn the wheel lock to lock and i cant get it to happen by bouncing the car by hand. it only seems to do it at slower speeds (less than 30 mph) or on sharper bumps. it's basically a squeak but has more depth.

i tried to search but my jedi search technique sucks.

Try your rubber bushings on your rear sway bar. They are notorious for deteriorating around this time of the car's lifetime. The squeak always came when I ran over a speed bump but was never really there at any other time.

It could possibly be the Lower Control Arm bushings, front sway bar bushings or sway bar links.
