Default Squeaking from rear at 110+ speeds?

Tonight coming back from dinner I decided to blast it on an on-ramp to I-95. It seems as soon as I hit 100-110 MPH I get a semi-loud squeaking noise coming from the rear. It seems more concentrated on the right side of the car. This always happens at 110+ speeds ( only done it three times). I usually dont EVER speed much, but it was just one of those times I guess. Anything under 110mph I dont get any noise at all and everything is fine.

Could any guys let me know what my problem is?

Thanks.

Does it sound like it's inside the car or under the car?

Inside the car check the spare tire and jack if it's still in there. That's always the first thing to check with noises from the back right. At those speeds it could be weatherstrip related. Throw some dielectric grease or silicone spray on your ttop and hatch weatherstripping.

Do you have any aftermarket suspension parts that may require greasing?

thinking about it, it sounded more under the car.
and i know it wasnt coming from the t-top. it was definatly behind me.

As for as i know, the suspension is all stock.

btw, the car has 82K miles.

thanks.

check the rear inner fender liners behind the rear tire. there no screws holding them in on the bottom, they are just wedged into the fender. Mine came loose at 171mph when i decided to see if my dad new gps unit would record over 150mph.
