Highlander noise when parking

2009 Toyota Highlander, base model, 165K. About 1 month ago I have noticed my Highlander (mostly driven by my wife) make a loud squeeking sound once she puts it in park and turns the car off. For example, often times I am in my garage while she pulls up, and after putting into park and shutting the car off it seems like the engine/drive train is still situating itself, resulting in a squeeking finale. If you're driving you don't hear it. But just today she parked the car while I was in the garage, she was able to shut off the car, open the door, and upon stepping out close the door while saying 'uh is that sound normal?'. So it's a delayed squeal, car slightly moving forward and backward, until a halt. 

Ideas, I dunno, maybe bad shocks? Thank you!

Well you have to pinpoint noises. So watch my video finding the source of car noise of Scotty. It could be anything from a problem with the drive belt too. Shock struts exhaust mounts getting loose. You have to pinpoint the sound

Watched the video, good stuff. I was able to see I have a cracked/broke upper engine mount. I already ordered a new one so will start with that. The other engine mounts looked ok...
