Default Noise from the Rear when going over BUMPS !!! HELPPP

So my car has like 5000kms on it at the moment but this is a problem i have had since 2000kms. When i hit a bump i hear a squeek in the back, i took it to the dealer they said something like my foot brake was loose or some crap like that. They took apart the caliper and greased up the brake pad. That seemed to solve the problem on the passenger side, but now the drive side is doing it and its coming back on the passenger side i dunno what it is... Any one else have this problem?

HELPPPP its a 2008 IS250

Use your e-brake every day/night. When you park your car, but the e-brake on (hard). See if it goes away.

try pushing down on the spare tire compartment in your trunk. i'm not sure if this happens to anyone else, but something in my spare tire compartment squeaks. when i'm driving slowly over slightly uneven roads, i can hear it squeaking in the back.

Try pushing in and holding your e-brake over a bump that you know will cause the sound. If the sound disappears, your e-brake may need adjustment. Good luck.

I would say it almost sounds like rear spring slap but if you have a stock suspension or coilovers it kind of rules that out.

Did you have the dealer check to see if they accidentally installed the 'mother-in-law' option in the rear seat?

Is your suspension stock, or are you running new springs or coilovers?
