Default I got the rear squeaks!

My rear suspension is squeaking at low speeds. When the car is parked and I rock it back and forth it squeaks. When I bounce the rear up and down it does it as well. Same for when I exit the vehicle. I just got daizen sway bushings installed last May. I am not sure if that could have something to do with it as well. I suspect it is shock/strut related at this point. What do you guys think? Thanks!

It's probably your shocks/struts. Mine squeak bad also and I know it's caused from my 2 leaking struts.

Well if you've been rolling on stock struts for a long time it could be time for new ones anyways, you know, but that thread def makes me think different also. I appreciate the link too, ahah i'll make sure to check my bushings for lub when I install my coils.

agree with this guy, you say you have daizen bushings, you should check and grease those as your first suspect. before going out and spending more money.
