Default Rear Squeaking sounds

Sorry this topic might have already been brought up before but my car is making some squeaking noises in the rear and I have tried everything to debunk it but I can't find the solution. When I'm cruising on the streets I also hear it from other fellow GS cars. It sounds like a bed spring sound. Thanks in advance guys

I would like to know as well, mine is doing the same thing. I hear it whenever I'm going slow over bumps or angling into driveways.

Check the headlight adjusting sensor. It has a small link connected to the left rear trailing arm (I think). Looks sort of like a sway bar end link but connects to a sensor that determines how much the suspension is traveling. Unbolt it and grease it up really good. Solved my squeak issue.

I would have someone bounce the car while you try and find the source of the problem from underneath. That's how I figured out it was my headlight adjusting sensor.

Middle nut/threading on top of my rear shock was stripped. The one in the center of the three that are in triangular configuration.

Guy guy guy this has been covered a million times. It's the rear axle knuckle bushing. If you're talking about the infamous creek over speed bumbs, when you're turning...that's your issue. Mine is going it now but i haven't replaced. Search for the diy in the suspension thread

I solved it by just lubricating my front and rear Ball Joints. Make this initial step, if it doesn't work may be change of axile
