Default Rear Squeaking!!

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has had this problem before so you can help me out or at least point me in the right direction. My z has been making a squeaking sound from the rear but don't know what it is? Most of the times it happens when i go over speed bumps or hit a bump on the road and it loud as hell.Tryed jacking up the car but when its up there cant find anything .I could even hear it inside the car with windows up and its annoying! let me know if this has happened to you and how'd you fix it.
thanks

Well the sway bar bushings needing grease is a common one.

First thing to do is look at the upper control arm ball joint to see if the boot looks ok. Then spray some silicone on the sway bar bushings. You could try spraying some on the other bushings too but it probably won't get in there. If that doesn't work then you probably have a bad ball joint. I don't know what kind of mileage you're at but if it's alot then the ball joint is a likely guess.

I know how you feel. I have an 03 touring with the same mileage, no sqeaks, but it has 2 goobers on the right side from the former owner dropping a step ladder on it. One is just a scratch, the quarter has a scratch ding. I was cool with it when I got the car......for an excellent price of course, but now I'm bonkers over it. I've made the car almost perfect again except for that. Oh well what's another 800 bucks I guess.

Yeah I'm a 350z noob all the way, but at least I have an extensive mechanical/body background. What really helps is having a computer lol. Good luck to ya.

If you have an aftermarket exhaust, check to see of a mount arm is rubbing up against the aluminum hanger bracket. I had to trip some off because of a rubbing issue.

i got it fixed it happened to be the alignment screw from some part of my rear suspension atleast that what they had told me in the nissan. They said the screw was bent and was rubbing metal to metal.

Hope this helps bro.
