So for as long as I can remember, I have had this annoying "squeek" coming from the rearend of the car. You could push down on either rear quarter and it would do it. Was thinking bushings, at first. Lubed them up and checked them out...nothing. Then, maybe shocks...but both acted like they had plenty of life in them. After getting the car on a lift and pulling it up and down for a few minutes, isolated the sound to the passenger side. It ended up being the brake line, of all things. Where the line comes from the caliper and connects to the lines running under the car, in the bracket, right before the spring. It had some play in it. I put a little c clip in between to take out the play, and no more squeek! Sorry so long but wanted to share for anybody else having the same issue. :banana:
