Rear Squeeking!! I just bought my car 02 Z28 A4---and i just noticed that when i slowly go over a speed bump i get this donald duck sounding squeek from the rear-end. What is this? and is it somthing i should get fixed?..........the reason im parinoid is because i recently fish-tailed more than i wanted to, because i didnt realize it had just started to drizzle and the street was damp, i almost hurt my baby over my stupidity i was close to hitting the center divider..... 
Anyways, any feedback is appreciated.............THANKS!

Loosen and grease the sway bar bushings and end links
first. If that doesn't do it, Panhard end bushings are the
next likeliest. I've been using moly/graphite assembly lube
on mine and after a couple of applications it's all nice and
graphite loaded, and quiet. You can probably locate the
source of the squeak by lying under the back of the car
and pushing it up and down.

What a coinsidence! I have the exact same problem with my stock 02 z28. I dont think you caused the squeeking. I just bought mine a few weeks ago still under warranty. I've been driving it like a baby. No recklessness & mine squeeks from the rear when I go over bumps too. I am taking it in this Friday to be looked at. I will let you know what they say. If I forget to post my findings, send me a message.
