There is something in my rear suspension that squeaks terribly while driving down the road and you can hear is squeak if you push the rear of the car up and down. I have bilstein hd's back there, probably no more than 15-20k miles on them and stock springs (112k on them). The noise is really getting on my nerves. Any ideas what this could be? Maybe just old bushings or something?

If you can push on the suspension and make it squeak in your garage, then it should be pretty easy to find the problem. You could unhook the bottom end of your shocks, and see if the squeak stops. You could disconnect the LCA's the swaybar, etc. If you unhook all that and it still squeaks, it's probably your springs, so you could put a piece of hose around the base, and verify the upper side as the big rubber donut on it.

How can I disconnect the bottom end of my shocks? Wouldn't that be almost impossible to put back on unless I jacked the car up and put the bottom on first?

You can do it. It's pretty intuitive.

Alright I figured it out. It's the endlinks on my swaybar, both of them! Any suggestions on what kind to get. Also, I didn't disconnect it but I assume I have to take off the wheels to get to the top nut?
