Squeaking noise, what could it be?

hey everyone, i just bought my 95 Z28 a few months ago and i am having a problem with a squeaking noise comming from the rear of the car. It is only when i am driving and the road is rough. I have a feeling it may be the right side of my bottom bumper but i dont know why it would do that

Does anyone else have this problem? and if you do how can it be fixed?

Thanks!

Fold the back seat forward and hit the same bumpy roads. Do you still have squeaks?

stick a buddy in the back seat and go for a ride. have him pinpoint if it's suspension or if it's comming form inside the car. If it's suspensio, i'd say the LCA's.. They ahve a tendancy to make noise or clunks.

Howdy !!...
I recently purchased a 95 Z...and had the same problem. The squeak was driving me insane. However...the fix was easy...I lifted up my rear deck lid ...and turned about a 1/3 rd turn...the rubber pegs near the outer bottom edge of the lid. Don't turn it to far, or the lid will not latch properly.

Drive On...
