What could this be?

When I am driving and go over a bump or turn I hear a squeaking noise from the suspension. I recently changed my Stabilizer links.

if there is play in them. (you need the car jacked up and either use a prybar for leverage on the tire or use your own strength to yank on the wheel) Ball joints typically dont usually squeak. When worn out they make clunking (if you hear the noise at all)

Sounds like a bushing making the noise. Jack the car up and spray all the suspension bushings and shock rubber pieces with WD40 and see if it goes away (i would recommend one at a time to pinpoint whats causing it)
