Default Squeek Squeek, control arms?????

I have this annoying squeek. It sounds like it's comming from the rear pass. side. I assume its one of the CA's, because it seems to be a common problem on these cars.

If it's not the CA, what else would cause this?

Don't know, usually it is the front arms that are the problems. could be another bushing.

What makes the noise worse?

bushing or struts id say, push down hard a few times on the side that makes the sound, after 4-5 pumps, let go and see if it jiggles, or if it just stops, jiggle=bad strut

ill try that.

It doesn't do it always. Its actually for some reason usually in reverse, when the car is cold, sometimes in first when taking off after sitting for a while

hitting bumps? turning? press down on each fender pretty hard and listen for the squeak. is it definitely a squeak or could it possibly be a high-pitched grinding? rear wheel bearings fail more often than rear control arms
