Default Noise from type-S rear hatch/suspension/swaybar?

Anybody else get a squeaking noise from the rear hatch/suspension when driving over uneven pavement, like crossing on to the slope of a driveway at an angle? It doesn't squeak when I go over a speedbump straight on, though. Not sure what I need to grease or check out to fix this. Suggestions are appreciated!

Try greasing a bunch of bushings (especially LCA's and swaybar).

That's what I was thinking of doing. Hopefully greasing the swaybar bushings fixes it, the other ones are a bigger PITA to get to. What type of grease will work best for bushings? What does Honda use?

Take the brackets off and use polyurethane grease. White lithium is easier but not viscous enough to last.
