squeaking sound from rear

since i can't search, let me ask you guys this problem that i've been having for a while. whenever i go over the bump, i hear squeaking sound from the rear end of the car. i can't stand it anymore. i'm guessing rear struts/spring or whatever are shot? help me out here guys~ and one more thing, whenever i accelerate a lil bit more harder from the stop, i hear this weird noise that my car is making and i don't have any idea of what it is and what is causing this problem. sounds like something is grinding or something. btw my car is auto if this helps. thanx

silicon spray, you can get it at the auto parts store, it frees sticky rubber ig uess, id ont know the exact name for it, its just a silicone lubricant, it sproblaby making contact witht he metal or something and squeaking worth a shot.

Nice defense, man. Only know ONE fat chick, huh? You must live in a pretty small town, because the last time I checked, most of America was fat. We won't judge you here - don't be ashamed of your chubby chasin' ways.

I had the noise from the rear also. I sprayed silicone on top the the strut tower, and that did quite it down, but only for a little while. The noise came back and I swaped by old struts and springs for illuminas and CE lowering springs.

So the noise is gone now? after you replaced the old struts and springs? maybe it's time for me to replaced them also. thanx
