Noisy rear suspension

Lately I've notice a lot of noise coming from the rear suspension. It sounds almost like one of the springs is making some noise, it happens when I turn and sometimes when I go over bumps. I sounds like one of the springs is making noise when it flexs. Anyone else ever have this?

My 95 does that. It drives me crazy. It usually only does it when I make a right hand turn.

Only time I notice it in my car is with windows down and over bumps; ie, speed bumps especially.

Someone told me it was probably my shocks...but, I'm not sure.

Mine does the same thing. Usually going over speed bumps is the worst. Im not sure if the the springs or the bushings.

hey guys,
if it sounds kind of creaky, it could be your control arm bushings. My car does that over speed bumps etc. and my brother's a gm mechanic. He took a look at the control arm bushings and said they're worn out. I ordered a set of bmr control arms to fix the problem.
