Thanks,

Tough to describe. More of a clicking sound than a squeek.
It took the advice of someone else to help me isolate my problem as the inner polybronze. With someone else pushing the back of the car up and down... reach to the polybronze with your fingers as the noise happens. I was literally able to isolate it to the inner bearing by 'feel'. fingers on the outer bearing... no vibration.... inner bearing.... felt the vibration clearly.
I also had completely removed my swaybars at one point trying to figure it out. still made the noise, thus it wasnt the swaybars.
Other things to check... trailing arm bushings and shocks?
Good luck.
