Question Squeak Question, Suspension? w/Pics & audio

My car has a slight squeak. It's been there for quite some time, a little over a year. I can't hear it when the engine is running loudly with the windows down. But if I'm going slow, I hear little mouse squeaks when I go over even the tiniest bumps in the road. Sometimes it is totally quiet. I haven't been able to correlate it with rain/dry or hot/cold. Seems totally random.
The car groans/squeaks when I enter and exit as well.


I removed my toolkit and jack, still squeaks.
I tightened up my front valence (it was rather loose), still squeaks.

I took some pics of the front a-arms, shocks and I think that's the front sway bar. Some of the bushings look like they are not snug against the bar, and are a little cracked. The shocks look really dirty, I'm not sure that you can tell if they're good or not just by looking at them.

PICS
Drivers side sway bar I think:

DS sway bar, from diff angle:

DS shock:


BTW, what is this thing?



The clip illustrates the squeak when I sit in the vehicle, it's right at the beginning. And when I exit at the end.
