Rear Squeaking Noise
Has anyone experienced this? It happens if i go over bumps. Its more promounced on the way down (i.e when i hit the bump - nothing, but when the wheels move back into place there is a squeak).
I know theres been a lot said about rear suspension bushes, but somehow i doubt this is...

The squeaking I had, was to do with a dry ball joint connecting the headlight adjuster sensor to the rear lower near side wishbone. Its not very well protected, but it does have a small boot over the top of it. A quick re-grease and no more squeak.
Easily identified, by feeling the vibration through the suspension. You will need someone to bounce the rear end up and down while you hold each suspension part in turn. Where you feel the biggest vibration then this component is the problem. Be careful where you put your hands as you may get them squashed!!!!
