No. A Jeep Compass does not share parts with a Grand Cherokee. A JK Wrangler does not share parts with an old CJ.
Suspension squeaking in a Cavalier can be from suspension parts rubbing together. Check to insure that all of the bushings in the suspension are intact.
There are bushings located underneath most of the vehicles. Bushings are rubber inserts that resist the shock of the driven surface. These rubber pieces are found on all the suspension components of the vehicle.

Your local Jeep dealer may be able to help you with that. 20,000 Jeeps is a lot of Jeeps so they may not all be delivered at the same time.
We all know what it's like to suffer from sore joints. Even if you're in good physical condition, without enough cushioning between your bones, ordinary motions can be difficult. Now, apply that same concept to the suspension on your old car or truck. The bushings found on the control arms, leaf springs and various mounts are like the cartilage between your joints. The manufacturer normally equips a vehicle with rubber bushings, which provide a soft ride. Over time, however, the rubber begins to wear from oil and other contaminants under your vehicle, and the suspension components start to bind. That's when the automotive equivalent of arthritis sets in, and your vehicle's performance suffers (not to mention your own level of ride and handling comfort). Worn bushings are one of the major reasons for road wander. Rubber bushings may crush down before the suspension can respond to a bumpy road, allowing for play or wobble.
All bushing i believe are self-lubricated, they are at least on my 03 impala. Mine is squeeky right now, i was told it is the sway bar bushings that need to be replaced.
It may be the tires, and not the suspension at all. If the tires are oversized, it may be sidewall flex.
The DJ5 jeeps usea all the same body parts as pre 1973 jeeps
No.
While the engine is out, I would upgrade the steering rack to a 95-99 SE-R rack, Energy Suspension steering rack bushings, Suspension Techniks front sway bar w/bushings, Energy Suspension shift linkage bushings, a brake upgrade is advisable as well. These are all "Should Haves", "Must haves" are, SE-R or NX2000 radiator, driveshafts, hoses, and fans.
They are not the same. If you pass a suspension through a filter paper, all the solid that was in suspension is left behind on the paper. A solution doesn't have any solid bits in suspension - it is all liquid. It will go through a filter paper without leaving any thing behind.
I would really have to hear the noise, but there are bushings all along the suspension. These could be causing the squeaking noise. I had a similar experience with my 97 after hitting a huge pothole unexpectedly. The noise was best described as old mattress springs.
