Default Is it the Strut/shock mount or Strut/shocks making this noise

I hear an "Errk" noise from all four of my corners during small bumps. Is this sound most likely the strut/shocks mounts or the shocks themselves? Is there a noticable difference between them?

Not likely the shocks themselves, it can be the mounts. More than likely it's the bushings. Check your suspension over. In the front, check the knuckle to upper and lower control arms, upper shock mount, upper control arm to chassis, the sway bar endlink and bushings, etc. The back, check the upper arm, sway bar endlinks, endlinks to control arm, trailing arm to lower control arm, etc.

Not quite sure, but do you have a camber kit?

My Ingalls does this all the time during the summer when it is dry and hot. It is the bushing in them.

It could be 10 and 7, could be 8 if the bolts are a bit loose and it's rubbing against the undercoat. But...it could be any of the suspension bushings in the area. Have a friend hop on the car's bumper (just bounce it up and down) till it groans, and you go poke around to see if you can isolate the sound.
