3 places.
Lower Control Arm bushings - the bar that runs parallel the to the wheel, it connects the axle to the body. These don't get greased per se but go bad and need replaced. If you are going to replace them get 1LE bushings from www.stranoparts.com
Panhard Bar bushing - it runs parallel to the rearend itself. One end connects to the axle, the other end to the body. Looking from behind the car you'll see it before the rear end. These don't get greased per se but go bad and need replaced.
Swaybar bushings - connects to the axle, thin, less than 1" in diameter. The bushings are connected to the axle with a u-bolt. These tend to get dry and need either energy suspension poly grease or any synthetic wheel bearing grease.
To check all these jack the car up, get underneath and have someone push down on the trunk lid and see if you can pinpoint the noise.
Also check to see if the spare tire is tight.
