Squeaky rear end

The rear end on my car is squeaking quite a bit. I'm not sure what to grease or what to grease it with. Any thoughts?

First you need to find it. Get under the car and have someone bounce it up and down to try and locate the source of the noise.

My car squeaks too. I'm relatively certain that it is the control arm bushings. I took them apart and greased but it always seems to come back later. I'm thinking of replacing the bushings just to see if it helps but it seems futile since they are actually in pretty good shape.

Its a combination of all. the coils sqweek ,control arms and swaybar bushing. I used some spray lithium grease and cures the problem.

Sounds like a plan.
