Doubt your suspension can make a squeaky noise. Check your rear brakes to make sure the brake pad indicators arent hitting your rotors.

My front started squeeking a few weeks ago, seems like the same kind of squeek, I dunno if its my tc rods, cuz they are shot. or if its my coils, cuz i think the coating on them wore off and they are just rubbing... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'> &nbsp; But I am guessing its my tc rods. time for aftermarket.. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

rear sway bar bushings???

shouldnt be the subframe bushing, they clunk, not squeak, so be happy for that.

Is it a squeak or a short psst! (like someone trying to get your attention in the library)? &nbsp;If it's the latter, it's probably the gas/fluid getting forced through the orifice in the shocks. &nbsp;My rear KYB AGX's do that.
If it's a squeak...maybe a worn bushing somewhere???

Some springs squeak if you don't put on the stock plastic "thing" (like a tube) that covers the stock springs...pdm racing sells a product for the same purpose - check out their site.

I ahd this problem in my civic, believe it or not. &nbsp;Here's what it was:

Someone, not me because I'm perfect <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'> , was driving my car, and bottomed it out hard. &nbsp;I thought I had two blown shocks, from the way it sounded. &nbsp;When I looked underneath, I saw that the squeaking was coming from where the lower control arm was attached to the chassis. &nbsp;That joint had been crushed, and the metal was rubbing together, making a horrible noise. &nbsp;All I had to do was hit it with a BFH a couple of times to straighten it back out again. &nbsp;

Maybe you have a similar problem?
