Default Squeak coming from rear of car

I have a squeaking noise coming from the rear of the car. Usually happens when I go over bumps but does not happen every time I go over bumps. Sounds like its coming from the rear doors / Rear tires. I have a 1997 civic lx.
Any idea of what it could be? How to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Any modifications? Check all the bushings in the rear suspension arms. Bounce the car while its parked and see if you can hear the noise. You could try loosening the suspension bolts, then compressing the suspension with a floor jack and retightening, this reduces binding of the suspension bushings.

is ur car lowered? check top hats ( the can separate metal and rubber part and move as there is suspension flex)
also trailing arm bushings, sway bar bushing.
good luck

Its a little hard to tell by the picture but thats the bushing in there correct? Because if so they all seem pretty worn out to me. Some of them look cracked / torn.

i replaced my suspension and had squeaks , i replaced the lcas and no more squeaks! , 2 weeks later another small squeak it was now the rear trailing arm bushes and now all good , but it may not be the case all the time but usually after lowering a car and being as old as our cars are its going to happen...
