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.

well ive changed the transmission oil now and it didnt stop the strange sound coming form it sometimes so its probably something with the clutch. But ive been told that as long as the tranny works good, and the sound isnt getitng worse, i dont need to worry about it. So im considering it "fixed" as of now!

Ive also figured out what is making the small thumping noise from the rear. Its, what the chilton manual calls, "Nr. 2 lower suspension arms".
I dont know if there is another name for them, or what to call them in swedish
But its the bars that is farest back, and goes from the middle of the car out to the suspension.
Pressure and movement in the suspension causes this sound coming from these bars and ive been told that the bushing is probably done for it.

Is it possible to change only the bushings or do i need to replace the entire bars?
