Default Squeeking chassis

I hear a squeeking noise over every speed bump, turning into my driveway, getting in and out of the car and basicly any and every where you can think of. I took her to the dealership for the 80k service, but don't get me started on that bs, and they said they lubbed the chassis and it stop squeeking until I got home. I had the same problem with my old 96 Camaro but that stopped after the lowering springs and shocks went on. Ground clearance is an issue now because of the LM that hangs down too far. Would some STB and SFC help?

The SFC's would help if it's a flexing issue, but the sound that you are mentioning is usually from poly bushings. I know that after I added the poly suspension bushings, those noises showed up. If you have poly bushings in the car, get used to it, because it's not gonna go away, no matter how much grease you pump into the fittings.

Everytime I turn slow, sharp corners (say in a parking lot), whether left or right, my rear end makes a horribly annoying groaning noise. Do you think something's wrong with my axles or suspension?

That sounds more like a shot posi unit, or a bad wheel bearing. My guess would be something in the 10 bolt is about to let go, or already has.....

I had a squeek coming from the rear of the car and it turned out to be the sway bar bushings. I sprayed them with WD40 and the noise went away. I have the stock rubber bushings. Good luck!
