squeaking sound.. bushing?

Whenever I drive over bumps, I hear a squeaking sound coming from what I think is the rear of the car, From past experience (with other cars), this was usually a worn bushing, does anyone have any experience with this in Maxima's?

thanks for any advice in advance.

I have that same squeeking when i hit a bump as well...only it is, by the sounds of it, in the front. Think it is a bushing? Also, I have a "metal on metal" sound when i make a slight left turn. not a wheel bearing...what coould it be?

I used to have a squeak coming from the front when going over bumps.
Turned out to be a bad sway bar link. (which has rubber bushings)
