2 things that worries me Options

[Soulless]

I know pretty much nothing about cars, and whenever i hear sounds or feel vibrations that im not used to i get overworried. So before i drive to the mechanics, and throws away my paycheck, i just had to throw 2 questions out on the forums.
For the record, i have a 1994 celica (think its an 3f-ge, the one with about 175HP) with manual transmission.


1. My suspension all around the car gives out alot of squeaking noises. Whenever i go over a bump or uneven road (in other words, whenever the suspension is compressed) it squeaks ALOT.
This sound emits from three of the four suspensions. My question is if there is any common problem that gives this squeaking, something that might be easy or even cheap to fix?


2. At low rpms, usuly at low speed or in neutral, there is a whining noise coming from "somewhere". It disappears if i press down the clutch, but if i release the clutch again it comes back. Also, if i put the car in neutral, depress the clutch and then release it quickly i hear a small THUMP and feel a faint single vibration.
Is my clutch going to hell?


Im sorry if im not clear, ive tried to describe my problems as good as i can, but i hope someone can give me some ideas as to what may be the problem with my car.

Yeah the first one sounds like the shocks are blown. This would be a good time to find some shocks you like and purchase some lowering springs

The second problem sounds like the clutch is on its way out... Have you tried to change your transmission fluid?
