suspension giving out?
There is something in my rear suspension that squeaks terribly while driving down the road and you can hear it squeak if you push the rear of the car up and down. It actually sounds like it might be two different things. I have bilstein hd's back there, probably no more than 15-20k miles on them and stock springs (112k on them). The noise is really getting on my nerves. Any ideas what this could be? Maybe just old bushings or something?

I picked up bad creaking in the rear swaybar mounts
after 2 days' drive in Carolina salted, sanded slush.
Tried silicone grease, no help; tried graphite/moly
engine assembly lube, instant relief.
Now my poly swaybar endlinks are doing it, have
not gotten it back on ramps to grease them up
since install.
Lube every rubber-metal and metal-metal joint
you can find, and all should be nice and quiet.

I think the squeaking is due to the swaybar endlinks. When I move the car up and down I can hear and feel it squeak when touching the end of the swaybar. Should I get new ones or do I just need to lube the rubber part up?
