Interior Noise

Hi All 
My 2.3 Ultima has recently developed an annoying "squelchy" type sound as the car gently bounces up and down whilst driving along, not too dissimilar to a squeaky seat spring (which it is not).
It is difficult to be totally sure but the sound seems as if it is coming from behind the dash on the drivers side. Has anyone else experienced this and come up with a solution?

Thanks for that information Andrew.
Just out of curiosity, how were you able to identify that as your problem because if it were the same sort of noise it is so difficult to pinpoint the source of it from inside the car?

hi there
it's been going on for ages. one day i went under the car and saw the the bottom ball joint was away. the link rod just rattles about a bit. more of a chattery noise (hard to discribe).

hive you tested the shocks ? (go to the corner of the car and bounce it up and down 3-4 times then let go it should come to rest in 1 cycle if not then its shot /repeat at all corners) they make a squelchy sound when shot and you said it happend when bouncing along
