I did my cables after christmas. I had a squeak that sounded like it was coming from the Right rear door somewhere. My squeak was driving at less than 50 km/h (30mph) around town on flat roads, the slight movement of the suspension made it happen.
I diagnosed it by pulling slightly on the parking brake while I was driving and while it was squeaking... as soon as I pulled up one or two click the squeaking stopped.
applying the grease is a 10 second job.. and worked perfectly.

UPDATE: I took the car to a friend’s house and we jacked up the car in the 30 degree weather. We sprayed every and all bushings, bearings, and damn near all bolts in the rear of the car. We set the car back down and still made the damn sound. So we jacked her back up, took off the rear passenger tire (that is where the sound is coming from) and sprayed the top of the new shock I just had installed. The sound went away! After about 2 minutes of driving it came back so next week we are going to shoot some grease up there thinking it will last longer and hopefully make the sound go away for a long time. I wish I had a lift so I could get a better look at it but I guess I will just do what I can. I think there is a bushing on the top of the shock I might be able to replace but I did not see one.

Noises are hard sometimes...shoot belle tire told me everything in the front end of a thunderbird I had was bad...700-800 dollars worth of parts later the only 2 things they never said were bad were the bad things! The upper control arms were bad on both sides and that was only 40 bucks brand new! The upper control arm houses the ball joint as well! Needless to say my knuckles, back, wallet and head were not too happy! What can I say though I had them diagnose and than I fixed it! Oh well live and learn!

i would go back but when you are under the car it sounds like it is the shock. If they did not put a new one in I would have had them do it anyways because it is makeing the noise from that area. Like i said it warmed up here a bit (35-50 degrees) and the sound is gone. plus the car does drive a little bit better.

Mine did the same thing. They only made noise when it was warm out not cold. I thought it was due to crappy interior plastics. I will try lubing the parking cables and WD40 the suspension components to see if that makes a difference. I cant live with the damn noise anymore.
