Squishy and squeaky sounds over bumps =/

It started when i hit bumps it was a loud squeaky sound..now it's the squeaking and there's like a squishy sound this past week in the rear of the car..almost like the tires are hitting the wheel wells or the back door isn't closed and hitting the insulation. Any ideas what it could be?

how old are your bushings? shocks & struts? sway bar links? these cars are getting old and if you've still got original rubber bits under the car, you've got a lot of areas that are worn out and potentially causing noises.

Not quite sure how old everything is underneath. I just bought the car in may..and i know the previous owner only drove it 600miles within a 6 year span of time. It started with the squeaking...like a kid jumping up and down on a bed..but alot higher pitched. The squishy sound just started this week over bumps. I'll have to crawl under the car when i get a chance..it broke down at the store tonight.. =/ As far as the front suspension..everything looks intact..
