Default metal squeek from rear end driver side, any ideas?

I took it to the muffler shop since I cannot for the life of me figure it out, Ive shaken the muffler around and nothing. Well he had it on a lift as well and couldnt find anything. While im driving, over bumps, just the usual crap in the road where they have filled in holes I get a squeeking noise and its prolonged with more bumps, it can happen some times in a turn as well, and then sometimes (like when I took the muffler guy for a test drive) it randomly didnt do it at all.

Ive moved the exhaust every which way and cant get it to make a noise at all, im beginning to think it may be somthing else. It sounds like a squeeky chair when you rock it back and forth, very metallic and very short bursts like metal rubbing on metal but its very short like the metal is tight but still happens to slip so it squeeks.

Ive got nothin, anyone with the slightest idea please let me know. Im wondering if a shock or controll arm or anything would make that noise, only thing is it didnt start till I had my muffler realigned, which is why im checking the muffler so much but it could just be coincidence.

a friend of mine has a similar issue and I believe his noise is coming from the stock panhard bar. I did the same thing for him last week, I took a rubber mallet and tapped averywhere I could tap, and the ONLY noise I could get under the car was on that bar, so I tightened a bit. The noise didn't disappear, but it did change, so I think I'm on it. Just a thought.

Maybe the shocks or LCA. I would take it to an actual mechanic. Maybe a bent LcA the stock ones are pretty flimsy...

Mine does the same exact thing. Squeaks over small bumps..especially when going slow..around 5-20 mph. Sometimes it squeaks when turning...even though the road is smooth. More embarassing than anything. I haven't had it jacked up to investigate either.

My brakes squeak too...only during very light braking (just enough pressure to make contact)...normal-hard braking is quiet. That, I know how to fix...and will when I change the pad. Maybe the bumpy road is just bumpy enough to cause the same vibration that causes the brake pads to squeak. That would be sweet. May have to get the Hawk HPS sooner than planned.
