Default Weird squeak from rear pass suspension?

I just bought by car a week ago and didnt notice the squeak when i test drove it. but its really annoying. its on the passenger side rear suspension. any ideas on what could be squeaking. its not the brakes or anything to do with wheel. i'm guessing a bushing or shock or sumthing. anyone ever had this problem let me know!!!

My car squeaks real bad when it is cold. After a few driving miles it quitens down a little. I plan on removing the arms in the rear and adding a little grease on the bushingsto see if it will help.

But from what i have read and seen that is pretty common for the cars.

I was rotating my tires and found out I have a bad rt rr wheel bearing. I hope the axle isn't damaged. Wheel moves way too much for only 19,xxx miles. So into the rear I go. While I am in there that is when I plan on lubing the bushings.

I had the same problem when I first bought my car. Unbolt your rear sway bar bushings one side at a time and grease them. It solved my problem and its easy to do.

A good place to start (start with the easy and least expensive solutions first). Let me know if it resolves your squeaking.

i sprayed some wd-40 on all my suspension bushings and on my shocks, springs etc... and it stopped most of the rattles and the car seems to run smoother!!
