Squeeking, popping from suspension

Everytime I come to a stop and the car's nose dives a bit, when it comes back to rest, I hear a squeek or a pop that comes from the suspension. Both rear and front suspension. Dealer could not duplicate, of course, until I drove with the service manager and he agreed that there are some sounds and that most are normal. So its normal for a Toy HIHY Limited to sound like 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Station wagon with original struts?
He did say that he will look into the popping from the front, must be grease missing, he says.

So I asks of all of yous, do you all have these sounds too or is it only me?

Yes, but only while backing up. I park my Highlander backwards into my garage, and almost every time as I'm backing up I tap the brakes while driving past/through a dip between the street and sidewalk, and at that moment my rear suspension usually gives a pop. I've always passed it off as one of those noises or quirks that come with most vehicles. I remember a thread a year or so ago where other members mentioned they experienced the same thing.
