Default Right-Rear suspension squeaking

It doesn't squeak when it hits a bump. It only squeaks when it hits things that makes the car bounce like mild bumps. It doesn't make any noise at higher speeds... just really low speeds. I did a suspension check and the strut and rear sway linkages are fine. Anything I have to lube or any other bushings I have to change?

Heres' what it sounds like, I don't like using this as an example but I'm going to say it:

You know that spring noise when the bed bounces when having sex? Well, mix that noise with a wooden ship in movies (creeeeekkk-- wood bending noise). It's been doing it for 2 months and it's getting louder and louder. Performance is not affected.. just annoying noise at very low speeds.

Could grease your sway bar bushings and see if that helps.

I spray some white lithium grease in with the straw attachment.

187SKS would like for you to aim the lithium grease straw at the two rubber bushings and grease them, as they may be producing the awkward wooden sex sound.... you dont need to spray the whole thing, just the two bushing that support it. i would also look at the end of the sway bar where it is connected to the vertical rod to see if the rubber boot is torn and the grease is gone from insed producing the squeal.
