Creaking Noise Going Over Bumps

I currently have a 2004 SC430 and was wondering if any of you guys have any problems while going over bumps and hearing a squeaking/creaking noise?
The noise is only present when I'm going over bumps, as I believe they have something to do with the suspension?
Could use some advice and anything I could do or have a mechanic do to get rid of the noise. Thanks!

Thanks martini3 for the threads!
Sorry I didn't use the search button :P
Hmm could they be the roof? How can I figure out if its the roof that's making the creaking noise and not the suspension? While driving it, I think it's coming from the wheel, but I could be mistaken.
Any other insights on the situation?

Sounds like your struts. But there are a lot of things that cause similar sounds.
Try going to a parking lot with a speed bump. Drive over the bump slowly at an angle -- so that each wheel goes over the bump at a different time. This is what the mechanics at my dealer do to isolate the noise.

Had a similar problem. There's a high probability that it's actually your hood causing the creaking. Try raising the rubber hood stops to lift your hood.

Here's a pic of the hood-stops locations (thanks talwang.)
