Default Rear suspension making noise

My rear suspension squeaks when I go over speed bumps or any significant dip on the road. It an '04 with about 50K on it. Once the cold weather was gone the noise has significantly decreased, but I can still hear a slight creaking over bumps. Should I be worried about anything here?

mine does the same thing. It just started to happen around 90k miles.
Now I have 100k

I wonder what's causing it. maybe the shock needs to be replaced?
anyone???

Check your shocks for leaks.

This needs to be in UTH.

This may be totally off, but I had an Acura TSX and I installed rear brace bars. The bars where held up with a brackets and rubber bushings.

I had to continously lubricate the rubber bushings because the brace bar rubbing against the bushing would make an annoying squeeking sound. Hope it helps

That's kinda what I was thinking. Being that the car still holds it's handling I don't think the shocks are going bad. It sounds like something just needs to be lubricated. What type of lubricant do you use?
