squeaking from the rear
 
So I just noticed this since sunday night. I was driving to meet up with a friend last night and had noticed that my car was squeaking for some reason, pretty loud as well. I had my friend stand by the side of my car while I was parked and turned my wheel to the left and right. He said he could hear a squeaking sound coming from the rear. As we were leaving the plaza, the squeak got even worse. I was able to hear it as I was driving, even more pronounced as I went over a speed bump. When I was going on the offramp which curves around, I could hear the squeaking as well. In my head I was thinking might be power steering fluid as I was running pretty low, around cold minimum.

Next day, I decided to take it to the shop to see what they could do. As I was driving there, I could hear the rear squeaking as I was going down the street. Once I got it to the shop, the owner said he couldn't figure out what was causing it. I had them flush and refill the power steering fluid. Initially, I thought it did the job but it came back again several hours later. Now I'm kind of lost on what to do.

**Things that I have done to the car**
Lowered on swift springs for about 20k miles
using SPL rear camber arms
Replaced power steering fluid
Sounds like this, EE ER EE ER EE ER lol.. like a bed with old springs

TLDR rear of car squeaking loudly, do not know why. Any idea of what it may be?

To me, it sounds like it may be a dry bushing in the rear suspension. I noticed that there was some work done a while back, and maybe the bushing need to be lubed.

I think mults is on the right track.

If it's not a bushing, look for something on the frame (relatively motionless) rubbing against something on the suspension (moves in relation to frame).

Good luck. Weird squeaks and rattles can drive ya nuts.

Mine is doing this too. But in the front passenger side

Took it to a reputable shop this time around, guy say it's wheel bearing. Scheduled to have the wheel bearing issue fixed tomorrow and the rear axle click fixed Thursday by weseloh nissan.

I also have this problem, from my rear right. I have no idea where it's coming from. I think it's some bushing or point where it rubs and squeaks, but it's a mystery.
