Default creaking/squeaking sound from rear

i have a 2k ek with a salvage title it was hit in the rear. the car is perfect except for when i go over speed bumps or any other bump in the road i hear a creaking/ squeaking sound. it sounds like i have a system and the trunk is rattling. right now i have it lowered on a tien suspension but it made the sound before i lowered it. the tires are new and have been recently balance and there is nothing hitting the fender. what could this annoying sound be?

sit in the back of your car and have somebody drive around so you can narrow it down, ie inside or outside noise, suspension or body panel, stuff like that. It could be a hundred different things

is it a FULL tien suspension? if your just using lowering springs on stock shocks, Its the shocks.

the tien is a fully suspension its a tien type basic. i thought it might be one of the bushings since it was hit in the rear but i wasnt sure. is there anyway to tell if it is bushing and not anything else? also i know there are different type of bushings which one is best for this situation?

check if theres a rat that came in your trunk. kidding. .....theres a lot of things that can cause it. it can be your suspesion, like bushings. or it can be loose things, since you have a system, it might made bolts loose from the vibration
