BAD Rear Suspension SQUEAK!
I recently installed a set of coil overs on my car. It rides nice but I've recently been hearing an annoying squeaking sound coming from the rear end. Everytime I hit a bump it makes the noise. Pushing down on the trunk and letting it go makes the sound. It's put out of commission until I have it fixed. I've heard that it's the control arm bushings. Is this the upper or lower control arm? Any thoughts of what to do? Your help is much appreciated guys. Thanks

Could also be the rubber mounts on the strut mounts. Maybe the springs isn't seated properly.

Thanks guys. The problems is that I had the same noise even before I installed the coilovers. It progressively got louder since the car's riding much lower.

Yep. I got it too and it's coming from the right rear. I bet it's coming from the LCA bushing.
