Missed where you said the "squeak" is coming from. I had a problem about a week after I got my car home. Took it in and for some reason the shocks hadn't been properly lubed/greased/whatever from the factory. Dunno if that's what you're talking about. Hope it's that simple for you too!

I think i know the squeaking your talking about. I have speedbumps in my neighborhood and i get it all the time, but its only when its cold out. The problem isnt with the suspension, its with the weather making the lubricants in the shocks cold, and that makes the squeaking sound when they "give" i wouldnt worry about it too much, i get it in the front and back

its the bushings on the sway bars.

Are these the bushings mentioned in the other post? Is that why they are getting new ones? If not, is there a way anyone knows to fix it? My car, even after going to the shop, still makes the noise, but it is in the cold. I live in Indiana though, and half the year is cold. I'd rather not have to deal with it 6 months at a time. Thanks.
