On stock springs? Could be a bad spring.
Aftermarket springs? Most likely installed 1 upside down.

It's the rear bushings on the control arm!!!! I have the exact same problem and finally couldn't take the squeaking any longer.....Went to my local mechanic and got 2 opinions (from separate shops) and they both say its the bushing in the rear control arms that need to be replaced. Only thing is they want 200 in total. I'm not sure if that's a good price or not....Some help please.

Most of that quote is for labour.
Getting the bushings out is a real pain in the @rse. That's what I'm currently doing on my Honda...

How many bushings would they be replacing for 200$?

im not sure, i would assume both in the rear for that price....my friend told me the bushings themselves only cost about $15-$20 and the other 150 or so if labor.

i will most likely just bring it in to the shop because i have read to many stories of people doing something wrong with the bushings when installing them, plus too much of a headache.
