Default Squeaking noise

Recently my car has developed a squeaking noise from the rear passenger side of the car. Here are details:

- The squeaking seems to coincide with the suspension traveling up and down.

- The squeaking is louder when the temperature is cold and/or the car is cold from sitting overnight. Usually the squeaking will quiet down after a few minutes of driving although it never goes away completely.

- The right side of the car seems to be sitting about 1/2 inch below the left side of the car.

- We took the wheel off and from visually inspecting the parts back there nothing jumped out at us as the problem.

The car has 72k miles on it, and numerous track days. The squeaking started within a day or two of a track day. My thinking is that the shocks are going/gone and I'm considering replacing them. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

I used to have this problem with my Acura Integra. It turned out to be dry, dirty sway bar bushings. Try cleaning and greasing them.
