Rear Supsension Squeak...
My car has this very annoying squeak somewhere in the rear suspension [:@]... I notice it more when it is cooler and damp out. It seems to be coming from the passenger side rear. Anyone else have/had this problem? Help me get rid of it PLEASE.

Does it happen when you do a turn? If so, there is a TSB about moan from the rearend.

EXAMPLE:
If I drive slow - squeek.....squeek......squeek[:@]
If Idrive fast - squeek,squeek,squeek,squeek [sm=smiley35.gif]
Again, I thought it was my rim but It doesn't do it all the time.One day it was doing it so,I put my spare on and it stillDID it. [sm=headbang.gif]

RE: Rear Supsension Squeak...
It's difficult to determine the true location of a squeak source. Sound may be conducted aling various componnts to a place where it can escape to vibrate some air. Get someone to drive you around while you move from place to place in the car. A stethescope would help.
My first impulse would be to spray a little Armorall or Silicon lubricant on the places where rubber meets metal: exhaust hangers, then if that doesn't do it, sway bar bushings, and maybe spring seats.
I had a persistent squeak in the rear of my car, isolated to one side. When I changed rear sway bars from a painted one to a powder-coated one, the squeak was gone. Paint had worn off one end of the squeakie bar, and that was the quiet end.

I'll give your suggestions a try...
