What is squeaking on my car?

(Edited now with new question since Shertex probably gave the correct answer that it's the ball joints. What's the best brand of ball joints to get? Advance Auto carries Moog).

For the first time ever, my car has been squeaking lately. When I turn the steering wheel, or go over a bump, or if the car is just sitting in the driveway and I push it up or down, there's a squeak. Lucky for me, when I was coming home last night it was getting worse just in the last mile or so where the speed limit is 25 mph. Especially when I was coasting to a stop, the car was limping, as though one tire were out of round (even though they're not), causing the car to go up/down slightly.

Is that necessarily the shocks or could it be other parts that move like sway bar or tie rods, etc.? I replaced the shocks about 8 years and 80,000 miles ago with Bilsteins. I doubt they'd wear out at just 8 years.
