1998 Plymouth Breeze front driver's side noise

My 1998 Plymouth Breeze is making a "something is loose" noise in the front driver's side area of the car. Checked numerous areas but can't pinpoint it. Its most noticeable when hitting bumps or cracks at slow speeds, shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and when applying the brakes moving in reverse.

    Problem ended up being a faulty sway bar link on the driver's side.

I have a 1998 Plymouth breeze and every time I go over a bump , the front make a noise , could this be my shocks

You have no shocks per se, but you do have struts, which serve as shocks.
The answer is yes, particularly if you take a flashlight and see that they are wet somewhere.
Wetness indicates a leak of fluid.

I have a 1998 plymouth breeze that squeals on the passenger side front. not the brakes. not the serpentine belt and not the wheel bearing .starts at twenty mph. also it stops sometimes. I'm kinda...

Ok its not the transmission.
If the car has to be moving to make the noise, its probably something connected to the right front wheel. You should be able to jack up that wheel and have someone run the engine in drive while you listen for the source of the noise.
And it could be the drive axle or the transmission.

Why does my 1998 plymouth breeze sound like my right tire is going to fall off when i turn the wheel to the right? and its only the front drivers side!

You could have a bad wheel bearing/hub assembly, loose tie rod (inner or outer), or a loose ball joint. If you raise the vehicle (with lift or jack), shake the wheel left and right and if it seems to have any loose motion not controlled by the steering wheel, it will be one of those i just listed. Shaking top to bottom is usually an indicator of a bad wheel bearing while side to side will be one of the others.

Where is the battery located on a 1998 plymouth breeze

On a 98 Plymouth Breeze, I think you access the battery from one of the front wheel wells because it's located under one of the fenders. I'm not sure which side it's on, but you should be able to get to it by turning your wheels all the way in one direction.

FRONT END ROTATING KNOCKING NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT.

The noise you are hearing when you turn is most likely a CV joint in one of the transaxle shafts. Start by checking each 1\2 shaft CV boot for tears, grease slung out of it,etc. You can replace the 1/2 shaft making the noise, but you will have to determine which one it is. The easiest way to do this is to have 2 people in the car with the front windows down, and no noise interference going on, (like a big empty parking lot or something). Turn the wheel while driving and see who hears the noise the loudest. Based on my experience, (I still drive a 99 Breeze with 155,000 miles on it), it's probably going to be on the drivers side. Have you hit or run over anything recently?
