I sense a bad wheel hub. USE TIMKEN HUBS!!! If you go with non-Timken (especially the "cheap ones") expect to do it again after the hub is out of warranty. The job is fairly easy if you have the tools (with one exception, and it had to be my Monte, I can nail these out in 1 hour per side, that includes dragging out tools and putting them away).
The hub has an internal ABS sensor on these cars. If someone can scan your ABS system, there are easy ways to find the failing wheel speed sensor (hopefully it's the same hub making the noise).
As for the squeak, could be aging shocks or bushings. Try pushing down on the car to "bounce" the suspension in different spots and find where it's the loudest and then look at the suspension in that area.
