Bump:hammerhead:

Some general causes I can think of:

- faulty shock
- worn rubber(s)
- loose nut
- mouse caught in the spring

- mouse caught in the spring

Whahaha,good one!made my day

Okay,so the shocks are all fine,
-Loose nut?Where do I check?shock nuts and mounts?
-Rubbers?what rubbers,dont know anything on rearwheal drive cars,bushes tipe of rubbers?

I am afraid you will need 2 people. One to bounce your rear end, and one to get down and try and identify the direction of the squeek. (left/right side)
Once you have established that, the hard work starts. Check bushes and suspensian rubber bits visually, and check nuts/bolts by hand.
