At 196,000 mi a squeaking noise started occurring at low speeds over gradual bumps. It sounds like it's coming from the front left side. Anyone out there with suggestions?

You could spend hours doing this. Spray some WD-40 on a suspected component where it moves or touches something else. Do one component at a time and drive in between to see if you've isolated the source.
In my experience, low speed soft squeaking has come from aged rubber components.

Listen very, very closely to Juggawut, but, and especially on sway bar bushings, you might have to wait a few hours for the lubricant to 'run' into the joint.

Also, start with the sway bars bushings, and don't forget the strut bearings which you can also spray.

Interesting I had this same exact problem when I got back to Texas from a New England road trip last week. Next morning I got into the vehicle and heard an awful squeaking noise from the front driver side of the vehicle at low speeds over bumps.
I brought it into the shop and had the shocks and struts replaced (and also the brakes, which were due) and still heard the squeaking after all that. I happened to go to the car wash and put it through the car wash several times to get some rock salt off the vehicle from the roadtrip, and suddenly the squeaking stopped. I have a feeling there was salt in the suspension that was causing the squeaking sound, so I'm relieved it's nothing more than that. Try running it through a car wash 2 or 3 times and see if that does anything? I'm not sure where you're located so not sure if you've recently encountered salt in your suspension?

After spraying hot hot soapy water all over the wheel well and the white salt road spray covered suspension components. This squeak is gone.
Thanks for the tip.
