I have noticed in the last week a little noise coming from what I think is a suspension component.

Upon stopping or getting out of the car, I hear a little noise from the rear of the car. If I push down on the rear quarter panel, I can replicate the noise. It is not a high pitched squeak, more like a groan. The noise occurs on releasing the load.

Does this sound like a shock, spring, or bushing issue?

Suspension is stock with 29K miles.

Any ideas?
