Wierd squeaking from rear end

Over the last month or so, I've noticed a very feint squeaking sound coming from the rear end of my car when going over bumps or whenever my car changes level going up a ramp or over a hump. It sounds like its coming from the rear driver side but I could be wrong.

I've never worked on the suspension on my stang, the suspension is 100% stock, so I'm not particularly sure where to look. What would you guys suggest I check? I'd rather do it myself and learn, than take it to the dealer. Thanks in advance.

These are not quiet cars. My 93 T-bird rides smooth and quiet compared to my 07 GT

take a look at your springs- the passenger side of mine was not installed right, the rubber 'pad' is pinched under the spring- noticed it when I was underneath undercoating(2 weeks old) meant to fix it just never got around to it...might be a common production line issue, and am suprised the spring isnt squeaking yet...

my car had a squeak last week, seat was fully lowered and squeaked like an old door- raised it a tiny bit off the stops and alls quiet...thought that was odd as the seat had been full down since the day I brought it home...

I have a squeek coming from the rear as well. The problem is that I have aftermarket exhaust, springs, panhard, and lower control arms. I have greased everything I can think of and it still squeeks. I'm thinking of putting lithium grease on all of the control arm bolts to see it that fixes it.

I'd start with the brake pads and go from there. Make sure all of the clips are in place and that pads aren't loose.

you might also grease your drivers side Lower control are and see if that helps. My aftermarket LCAs sqeek the same way. Also when I get in and out of the car it sqeeks like your getting out of a bed haha. I need to get under there and grease those suckers

I have a creaking noise whenever going up and down driveways. I also expierence it when taking off from a stop very slowly and somtimes during slow turns. It seems slow exagerated suspension articulations bring it out. I never hear it when driving normally over bumps and the like. However unlike the original poster I do have aftermarket springs, LCAs, and panhard bar. This noise only started after the upgrades. I greased everything...I have a sneaking suspision its the springs or how they were installed. If anyone can clear this up I know I would appriciate it.
