grease the lower strut bushing. It is either that or your camber kit....if you have one.

Just wondering how could it be the camber kit? I have the same sound from my right rear. Just wondering how I need to do the kit to get the sound out.

I have a si and the same problem I have but in the front, I had Eibach spring, after 8 month I just remove it and install my OEM one back that fixes that noise. I did not try installing a camber kit yet.

You are supposed to tighten up the camber kit with the car on the ground or the rear suspension loaded with a jack. If you don't do it this way the bushing can be stressed and start to rotate in its metal sleeve, this can cause it to squeek when you hit a bump.

i found out what the problem was and fixed it. it was the dust cover and every time i went down it would make a loud noise. so i trimed the dust cover down and the noise stopped. thanks guys for the help.
