Squeaking noise

I have been chasing a squeaking noise for the past 2 weeks. The car makes the noise during takeoff, some gear changes, and when I go over some bumps. Someone told me It could be the bushings in the rear lower control arms are going bad, can anyone confirm this? It's been driving me crazy. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If its definitely coming from the rear, you have control arm bushing, spring isolators, and shocks that could be your problem. If you have the greasable control arm bushings start there.

+1

Start there. If you have no luck in the rear check the ball joints in the front.

That was the first thing I did, I put it up on the lift during my lunch break yesterday and checked it all over. The only things that can be greased are my panhard bar and the swaybars where they attach to the rearend. I did notice the one bushing on the rear control arm looked like it was starting to push out.
