When ever Im driving and cruise over any bumps my car squeeks, especially when it's weighted down with more people. It even does it when I accelerate. I've noticed it's coming from the rear of the car. I was thinking it's probablly a bushing or maybe some bearing.Has this happened to anyone? What do yall think.
thanks

I would look to see if the DS has any score marks on it (the part you mentioned about it happening with more weight in the car jumped out at me). DS's can rub against ebrake brackets, etc.

Otherwise I would check spring isolators, strut bearings, etc.

Good luck.

Check your control arm bushings, then check your spring isloators. Those are the most prone to wearing out and causing squeaks.

My lower ball joints were shot. I replaced them and the problem was fixed.

Just get some Subframe connectors. (well that may not "solve" the problem, but it does take a lot of squeaking out.

When my stock rear shocks started to squeek... It was time to replace them.

and that was going over bumps, accelerating, and when I had more passengers.
