Default 2000 Alero driving noises...

going over bumps, some times on turns, any speed. i can really pound manually on the back end and it will eventually squeak like a mouse.

is it the strut? strut mount? something else?

also, i get humming from front end. ball joints? hub bearing/assembly? wheel bearing? brakes?

also, when i was in a parking spot, i straightened out the wheels, car not moving, and it made a snap noise, also i noticed that the front end, at low speeds, going over bumps, sounds like something is tapping?

Anyways, its a 3.4 V6, 67K miles
Brakes work well, but also i noticed that sometimes the car has a slight drift when brakes are applied.

It's an Alero. It's only supposed to go to the drug store and back to pick up your blood pressure medication. Don't drive it over bumps, I'm sure it says it in the owner's manual.
