Default Squeak in rear passenger side(suspension)

Well i've had my Tein Basics for about 8 months and 12000 miles now. I recently started getting a squeak in my rear suspension when i accelerate/decelerate sort of rough so it happens when there is weight transfer when i stop/go. It does not happen in the driver's side.

The weird thing is it does not make the noise when i go over bumps. It sort of sounds like a bed spring or a classroom seat sqeak if you're not sure what type of squeak i'm listeneing to.

Any ideas guys?

That happened to me too. The noise went away by itself after about 2 months. It only did it at certain times. I know exactly what you are talking about though. I called Performance Nissan even to ask if the shocks were under warranty. But the noise went away shortly after I contacted them. Sorry that doesn't help you one iota, but maybe its a normal.

Let me add im now doubt it's the shock setup or maybe any suspension component.

I've read other threads on axle click and that seems like my issue.

The noise only happens when i'm in gear accelerating or downshifting. I don't hear a peep going over speedbumps so the problem seems like it is obviosly associated with drivetrain and not the suspension.

I think my axle(s) are starting to click My gf and I are both hearing click noises when I am in reverse. Does that sound normal? I need to get it checked.

+1 on axle click, all they do is remove axle,clean,regrease,install and turn it 1/2 a turn more. they did both sides of mine just to be safe, only my passenger side was making the noise. it sounds like a couple of washers klinging together.
