how old are the shock/strut cartridges in question? it could just be the bushings squeaking, are they OEM rubber or urethane/delrin/plastic composite?
If its coming from the rear, check the rear subframe bushings, or the bushings that the rear shock assembly is bolted to.

Sounds like bushings. Try bouncing the corner of the car while parked to identify the wheel(s) making the noise.
