everyday speed bumps

do going over speed bumps just about every day hurt your car.....when i go to my girlfriends apartments, there are about 6 speedbumps going in and then i hit them again going out.
I go slow over them and all, but now my suspension is starting no make a little noise. Does it just need to be lubed up or am i messing it up?

If you had a camera pointed at your wheel and watched how many times the suspension went up and down as you drove, you'd get sick. One more won't hurt it. Now obviously if you go pounding over it it will, but I'm assuming you're not. If its making noises, something may need some grease.

Driving over these speed bumps everyday will wear out your struts for sure through time, but what about the tie rod ends and other related parts. They all work together.
