You can try pushing each corner of the car down hard and let go. It should spring up and stop dead. If it goes up and down a few times it usually means the shocks are stuffed.

not sure if that will help ya maybe take it to a suspension shop.

how can springs be dead?
how are we suppose to know the condition of your suspension by "Its Clearly Softer On That Particular Side And Ever Bump Squeaks"?

go out, jack up your car, take off the wheels and have a look.

Look into the shocks bro if u can. If u see some oil leakage on the struts of the shocks its dead and for the spring they dont die bro its only the shock that dies. Check your bushings maybe those are the ones whos making the squeaks.
