Thanks.. I tried that already and it didnt do the trick. That was my 1st thought as well.
I've got stock LCAs and I believe i had this problem before i ever put on the PHB. Only difference is it use to do it during certain times of the year and only last a few weeks at a time. Quite strange really. Whatever it is, i'm pretty certain has to do w/ something that is still stock on the car.

I have aftermarket LCA and PHR. Last night when we were test driving the car after the cam install I heard the squeaking so I got in the back to see where the noise is coming from. Its coming from under the car on the passenger side but I have no idea where...car was so loud I couldnt pinpoint it. It has a hollow thin metal sound though 
Its really annoying me.
Its really annoying me. I have a squeak as well. Ive put down the rear seat and i think that cures it, but sometimes i still think i hear the squeak. I dunno, whatever. Doesnt bother me much anymore unless i have someone ridin with me. Its embarassing when theyre like "Wtf is that squeak"

play with the rpm's at a stop and see if it does it, mine had a very annoying squeak when revving it up AND hitting bumps, turned out to be one of the brackets on the pass. side pipe leading from the muffler to the rear tip, i have a hooker catback btw. all i did was get a pry bar and push the bracket back where a bolt was touching the L shaped bracket.
I'm fairly certain my taillights are the culprit for my squeak. I replaced the LT1 taillights on the T/A with LS1 taillights and noticed a couple of things... One the holes for the tail lights where rusted so I cleaned them up and painted them but additionally a couple of the holes were oblong... I'd guess from the tail lights threads rubbing/filing the body.
What I'd like to try to find is a rubber grommet that I could press on to the taillight threads where they are passed through the body but I've not stopped by a hardware store to see what I can find quite yet...
Take it easy

Does it do it if you push down on the rear of the car? If so, lube the rear sway bushings.
If not, adjust the rubber stoppers on the hatch. Try screwing them out a turn or so. I bet that stops it.
It could be the spare but the above two are VERY common on these cars.

I seem to have this problem as well rear passenger side. I only here it going over bumps sounds like the car is falling apart in the rear. The only thing I can think of is either my BMR PHB, or LCA's I believe that is when mine started.
Try this, if you have a catback look under the rear bumper on the passenger side and you will see a bracket holding the passenger side tailpipe. The bracket will have a metal tab going into a piece of rubber. That was the source of a squeek I had for 6 months. I didn't have a spare, lubed and tightened everything, and one day i smashed my head on the tailpipe and heard the squeek. Spray some wd40 and wiggle the tailpipe. Hope this helps.
