Default Rear suspenion squeaking noise

No idea what the cause is of this but, here goes. Sometimes when I'm driving and it's wet or damp outside, and say I drive over a speedbump or back up into an incline, I will hear my back suspension(I'm guessing it's the suspension) squeak. It's a very noticeable sound and almost distinct, but I can't put my finger on what it is. If anyone has any knowledge that can help me with this I would be appreciative.

Is your rear suspension stock or modified and if modified what has been changed?

When I still had the stock LCAs on my car I had the same issue. Wet or damp conditions, go over a speed bump and hear a quick, pronounced squeak from the rear. In my case I narrowed it down to the LCA bushings. My fix was to use Tri Flow spray lube on the bushings at both the front and rear of the lower control arms. This would make the squeak go away for a few months; when it came back a quick shot of Tri Flow would make eveything quiet again.

Hope this helps...

you might check and be sure none of the mounting clamps for the exhaust are rubbing on the body or are loose. ive had a loose clamp fool me in the past into thinking it was suspension just because it was noticeable when the suspension was traveling over speed bumps.

It is a fully modified suspension, I have the full STEEDA G-Trac package. All professionally installed.

Wow, I never would have even began to think that might be the problem lol.
I'm going to take it to the mechanic shop that installed my suspension, and have them check those clamps. I hope that's what it is and not the suspension lol, thanks Shane for pointing that out!
