Sounds like sway bar bushings to me--mine raised hell on my Gen 1--perfect after they were replaced and not very expensive! Good luck!

My sway bar bushings were dry and squeaked - I sprayed them with WD40 and they've been quiet ever since (over 1 year ago). You could try there and work your way up.
