noise from rear when compresed?

there is a noise coming from my rear when ever my rear is compressed or when i push on it it is like a creeking noise, could it be a bad shock? the stock ones are on there? or do my edlebrok lca's need to be lubed? i sprayed all ruber bushings with wd40? and that helped nothing,
any help would be great
thanks

There is no "greasing" on a stock suspension.

Just go to it one piece at a time if you can't
locate it by ear. But from underneath on ramps
the location should become clear.

Pull the sway bar bushings off and wipe the inside
of them with anti-sieze, asssembly lube (I like the
moly-graphite stuff). Same for the end links.

LightemUP,

My car makes the very same noise! Did you get somebody to push on the car while you were underneath it? How do you know it is the bushing?
