Default Something's Squeeking...

There is a squeeking come from the back end of my car. My friends and i believe that is the suspension bushings. We thought they just needed to be greased but we looked and there is no grease fitting anywhere back there. Are we missing something, am I just wrong altogether, or am I just totally screwed?

-thanks

"Squeaking" coming from behind you can mean a number of things. First check to see that your spare tire is locked down tight. I suppose you could also have noisey springs and shocks, but this would be slight chance. Maybe one of your brakes are dragging. Might consider having your wheel hub nuts checked for the correct torque. These have been known to loosen but they cause more of a ticking sound.

Does the squeaking sound appears only when hit a bump on the road ?
If it does, it could come from your sway bar.
Grease the two location where your sway bar is attach to your car.
Had this problem last year.

Hey i'm getting a very faint squeek in the front passenger side of mine. I notice it normally as i'm pulling into and rolling down my driveway since i am rolling at such a slow speed. could it be the front sway bar needs lubed at the tie down points?

It definitely makes the squeak when I hit a bump, any sort of bump, and it does it when you push down/lean on the car. We'll grease the sway bars like stated and see if that helps.
Thanks
