Help!!

This squeaking noise is driving me crazy and I can't figure out what it is!! Whenever i go over bumps the back of my car squeaks. Has anybody had any similar problems? Could it be my suspension? The sound seems to be coming from the inside of the back of the car though. Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?


Thanks in advance.

The thing is.. i just bought new Tokico Illuminas last July.. I would hope I don't need new struts.

I just have Tokico Illumina's and Eibach Prokits. Nothing drastic so I don't see any major issues that should be occurring.

usually squeaking is blown struts, or the sway bar. After time, the rubber mounts on the sway bars deteriorate. Time for some polyurethane ones. Also, it could be dead coils rubbing, but 99% of the time if your shocks are new, its sway bar

I figured it out. Its not even my suspension. It was like a vibrating metal noise that came from my trunk spring bars. A few years back one of my friends thought they had to take out the spring bars when installing my rear speakers and broke the clip that holds them together. I tried making the bars vibrate and that was the sound. Totally forgot about that and thought it was nothing important. I never took much notice since the bass from my 2 Kickers usually droned everything else out, but now that i dont listen to music that loud anymore it actually does make a difference.

I tried pushing my car up and down from the trunk area to see if my suspension made any noise and it didnt so thats how I know it wasn't the suspension either. Thanks for the input though guys. Someone suggested "rocking the boat" and that helped me to figure that part out.
