Squeaking sound from front suspension?

I have maybe 2 or three questions, they are all going towards the eventual sale of my car. Why you ask? I'm wanting to get some of the money back out of my car before I drive the rest of the value out of it, and I want to buy something to play around with and build up, and I'm 99% sure its going to be a pair of datsuns, specifically a 240z and a pre-75 620.

and that's my preamble.

Now, down to business. I have an '05 g35 sedan, nonsport, with stock suspension. For the past year I have had a mild issue with my front end squeaking/creaking when I go over speed bumps and make turns, without regard to which direction ism turning the wheel. The noise only seems to happen as low speeds, under 5mph (ie parking lots and slow turns). I have had researched and seen things about compression bushings and such, and I'm reasonably sure that they aren't my problem. I'm not too sure what my issue seems to be, and I'm not too horribly inclined towards suspension problems. I was wanting to know what you guys thought of it and if anyone has had a similar sound.

The other question, what color should I paint my sedan to make it more desireable in resale? Presently she is BS and I've gotten comments, but I've heard that most people dont like it. I think its a little generic, which is a love hate thing with me. I'm wanting to stay with stock colors, and I've been thinking OB. the story is my poor baby in the past 6 months has had to deal with a lot of abuse, I've had my car keyed 3 times, there are several scratches in my paint from *******s in parking lots hitting it with doors and God knows what, and I had a truck throw up a 5 foot piece of retread off his truck and cracked the bottom of my bumper.

Thanks for the input guys, If you need any more info let me know.

Here's link to an album of my car so you have an idea of what your looking at with the paint, I haven't completely figured out how to resize photos yet.

My problem seems to be worse in the mornings, the humidity or rain doesnt seem to affect the level of noise. Yeah, the brake pad thing sounds like bs to me.

how do you know that the compression rods are not the problem?
have you ever changed it before? seems like they last 40k to 60k in general...
