could just be your hatchback. my car does the same thing since i lowered mine. it's happens because your suspension is stiffer and the chassis flex is a little more harsh. try a rear strut bar.

I had the same problem. Took it to 2 places and none could figure it out. The third place I went to just sprayed lubricant all over my shock/spring assembly. That got rid of the squeaking...

i think it got something to do with the weather. mine squeaks a lot when the weather is cold but other than that its fine.

Thanx allot for the visual bud.

If you've swapped out any bushings or added camber kits with urethane bushings these may be squeaking. A little white lithium quiets mine down. Try to joust the car and isolate the source of the sound.

Just about everyone on the board with modified suspension has this problem. There is little you can do. Granted lubing up the bushings is going to stop the squeaking, but it isn't permanent. Once the lubricant wears out, it's gonna squeak again. You can either deal with it, or lube every single bushing every once in a while.
