Default Squeeky bushings?

I notice my car made a "creeking" noise when going slow over speed bumps. I decided to find the problem. I took my wheel and struts off. I moved the suspension up and down and noticed at a certain point the bushing would want to twist and move and would make that squeek noise. My question is how to fix this problem. The bushing still is in good shape. Im talking about the lower rear a arm bushing. I have no slop or visble wear but anyone know how to fix it from wanting to move?

If you're sure it's in good shape, your best bet would be to press it out and lube it up again, but if it's moving like you say it is, it doesn't sound as if it's in good shape to me.

Bushings are a pain in the ******* ***, and if you don't have a press, maybe a temporary fix would be to pound them with some penetrating lube like PB Blaster or something. If they're OEM rubber bushings, make sure that the lube you use won't deteriorate them.
