Default Help with a squeak

...that's plucking my last nerve.

It's coming from the back drivers side. I already lubed the inner bushings on the swaybar and replaced the LCA bushings. The car only has 30K on it so the lca bushiungs were ok but i did upgrade from the waffle type to the solid rubber 1LE type, you can feel the difference it's much better...but the squeak is still there..

Next I think I'm gonna do is lube the shock bushings and outer sway bushings but I was hoping someone here had the same issue and can help.

It's a chirp/squeak that get's worse as I drive. When it's bad you barely push down on the quarter panel and can hear it clear as day..If the car sits overnight then you have to really work the suspension to hear it.

Anyone have any Ideas?

Well I pulled the wheels and lubed the sway bar end bushings and sprayed lube the on exhaust hanger bushings...It helped quite a bit but I'm still getting some squeak...I thinks it's the top of the shock.
