This was the last straw this weekend. The noise and bounciness got to me. It was also a post a saw here as to actually how cheap the rear struts are. So I've ordered Bushings:

and rear struts last night:

The way I figure, I won't be doing coulovers till spring anyhow, and this was only $60 for a fix, I just can't stand the squeaking anymore... waaaay too annoying, especially not when you have not even 52k on the car.
As a side note, I've ordered a 19.2 craftsman cordless kit, since it's on sale for 199.99 and if you order online (with store pick up) you get another 10% off.

I'm not sure how 200 ft lb will work, but some posts I've read say it's no proble for removing lug nuts, and that's more than enough for me. You can get just the tool with two batteries for much cheaper, however I went with the kit because of the 2 Lithium Ion batteries, kit with just the tool comes with NiCad. If you own craftsman 19.2V tools, you can get just the tool for like $85.
If anyone is looking for an impact wrench, I think it's a good price, especially for a decent brand. If you guys want to get it while it's on sale (10% ends on 18th), I'll review the kit (more specifically the wrench) in more detail after I do my rear shocks this week.
