Default I hit a dip

Hey guys i was driving down a dark road going about 5 40 mph and i hit a big dip. And since then any small bump i go over on the road, my car starts squeaking from the back really loud. Is this something i should worry about ? or ..

You can edit your posts, you know...

Jack the car up and try to find out what's squeaking. Without knowing what it is, it's hard to tell you whether it's a big deal.

Do you have an aftermarket rear sway bar?

Maybe you unsettled the spring or damaged the damper. Try pushing down on the rear of the car, being careful not to dent the sheetmetal, does anything squeak?

Can you post a video?

i didn't realize i could edit my post till i had posted again, and i don't have a sway bar. This happened last night so i haven't had a chance to check it out yet. im going to put it on the jack once i get out of class. im pretty sure its something scraping against i don't know what but, that's what it sounds like.
