Mine is like a fugging fog horn going over bumps, or a better example would be two very horny teenagers in a very squeaky wooden bed. I need to fix it

Id say the squeeky noise could be exhaust or suspension. The shocks if worn out will squeek, so will un-lubed poly bushings as well as old stock rubber pieces. Also, if you have subframe connectors id make sure your LCA bolts are really tight.

Could be that you need new shocks-mine doesn't make any noise going over humps.
