My back end squeaks no end! WTFm8
Ok, I have checked over everything as far as lose nuts/bolts. I tightened my sway links, my sway, my tops of my rear coils (all 4 nuts 3 mounting and one center) I have check the brace under the rear seat and the braces that are on the back of the rear seat.
First I thought my sway was rubbing, but it only hit the bottom front of the underside of the trunk wheel well.
Second I found my rear driver coil had sucked the dust cover up to the bump stop?

I tried to cut most of it out but there is still some stuck up there.
It sounds like it is squeaking on both sides in the rear.
Also on that gold piece (collar?) it has a rubber gasket on one side but the other doesn't, so that part is metal on metal. I guess either that one never made it on in the first place or worked its way off the car over the 10k I have had these coils.
the collars also had electrical tape on them and it was coming off, is this a normal thing to do when installing?
Anyone else had an unending squeak from the rear trunk area? This isn't strut clunk, its a SQUEAK SQUEAK.....
I am just at a loss at this point. I had Les Scwabb put it on a lift to see if we could see anything and we couldn't, of course
I don't even want to drive it anymore it has gotten so bad.

Tried cleaning and applying new grease. Also sounds like your isht wasn't assembled right in the first place.
regrease the sway bars.
