Default Civic coupe 99 rear suspension squeak

Hey guys, my coupe has had this squeak since i can remember. It's extremely annoying to have to drive this car in the morning with this noise. I have skunk 2 rear camber kits and lowering springs. I've changed the top hat for the springs and changed the camber kit's bushings. I know the trailing bushing is almost dead so i bought ES bushing and will install it. But i don't want to keep buying parts without knowing the problem. Here is the link :

You've pretty much covered all the pivots...

I have S2 rear camber, omni lowers with poly, and poly trailing arm bush. No squeeks. Could be strut, if not arm bushs.

Have a friend flex suspension while you feel areas on rear (of car not him lol). Feel for where the noise is originating from. It will vibrate fast.

damn, i might change the struts but its such a hassle haha.I felt for the vibration a while back and i think the noise was coming out of the strut but since there's no room i cant tell for sure. The other thing i thought it could be is the exhaust piping. Since that side is where the piping goes and the hook broke one time and i had it re-welded.

Did you lube the ES bushings?
If not, go do it.

**Re-read first post**... bought an ES bushing kit but haven't installed yet
Did you tighten the bushings down once it was on the ground or on jacks?
