usually it ball joints when it is a squeak on a DA, it can be strut mounts, hatch not down tight, you gotta be more specific

If you're running stiffer than stock spring rates and getting a squeak from the rear, there's a good chance it's the hatch.

It sounds strange, but open up your hatch, look up and find the metal "loop" on the hatch which locks into the latch on the car. Take some electrical tape and wrap it around this "loop". 2-5 wraps should be fine. This should significantly quiet down your hatch, but you'll need to replace the tape every so often.

This might not be your only problem, but it is a common one.
