Excessive rear wheel hop when going over bumps is primarily caused by a combination of suspension tuning, tire characteristics, and road conditions. When the suspension is too stiff or not properly damped, it can fail to absorb the impact effectively, leading to a bouncing motion. Additionally, worn-out components like shocks or springs can exacerbate this issue, while tire pressure, tread design, and grip can influence how the tires respond to uneven surfaces. Proper suspension setup and maintenance are key to minimizing this phenomenon.

What would cause car to sqeak when going over bumps and tuning steering wheel?

Any bushing, if its worn or old enough, causes suspension squeaking at low speeds and when going over bumps. The typical cause of squeaking noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Fill your reservoir with manufacturer-specified fluid (or have your oil-change service station do it). With a very low fluid level, the whining sound will be accompanied by a difficulty in turning the wheel.
