Default 98 Trans-Am WS6 squeeking in back!!

When I am driving my car and i got over a bump i always here this squeek in the back somewhere. It kinda sounds like its inside of the car behind the driver seat,however; when i go to get out of the car and step out you can here a squeek in the driver side in the wheel well. It sounds liek crap!! any suggestions?

This sounds stupid but check your spare tire and make sure it's not loose.

Do you guys recommend replacing the orginal bars with greasable ones or just breaking the originals from the rear and greasing them up??

There's a good chance its your hatch rubbing against the taillight if you've had any work at all done back there for any reason. Mine does this occasionally. Very high pitched squeak, very annoying but the solution was to loosen the taillights a bit, and that seemed a bit to risky for me.
