I don't know if this is your problem but give it a shot.
I am hopefully going to check out all the suspension this weekend. I am just wondering what could actually make a loud sqeaking from what sounds like inside the car. It must be something towards the bottom of the car.

I believe I have finally narrowed my squeak to exactly what you said. It seems like that is what it is coming from but just spraying silicon spray on it has done nothing. I have tried to tighten/losen it but it seems to spin underneath the car. Any other things I can put on it to make it stop?

Keep spinning it, eventully it will come off, after like 5 minutes of loosening. It may be the spring as well. I have the same squeek, it happens over BIG bumps and on decel from high speeds, kinda weird.

The bolt still doesn't seem to want to come off after so much spinning. My squeak starts to quiet down a lot after I try tightening or loosing the bolt. It sqeaks on any type of bump, regardless how big or small it is.

I was told that there is a tool that keeps the top of the shock mount still why you loosen the bolt but I can't find it anywhere.

I had that squeak with the factory shocks. Maybe it's time for some aftermarket shocks. If you haven't already changed them, I would do so.

That squeak could drive somebody to drinking. I know the feeling, my road is bumpy.

Good luck!

FINALLY got it!! It was indeed the driver's side top shock mount. No type of lubricant would make it stop and then I got desperate. Brake fluid is the key!! It took a good day or two for it to absorb into the bushing but it worked!
