Squeaky rear suspension
Ok gang.. here's the newest problem. Actually it's been like this forever, I've just now got around to addressing it. If I push on the trunk/rear fenders to bounce the back of the car up and down, it squeaks. The sound is actually two squeaks; a deeper sounding squeak, and a higher pitch one. They may be coming from two seperate things. They don't sound terrible, but they're getting annoying.
My first thought was the sway bar bushings. So, I removed the stirrups that holding the bushing, cleaned them, and lubed them up with white lithium grease. I gaurantee they're not the cause, but I still have the squeak(s). It's hard for me to determine where it's coming from, but I think it may be up in the shock tower. Maybe. It makes the noise on both sides.
Is there a common cause for sqeaks in the rear suspension? I would have bet $100 on the rear sway bar bushings, but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys

I am new to these forums and have a question regarding S-type R SC and their suspensions. My car is a 2003 daily driver, nothing more and the shocks in the rear have gone bad. It has the CATS system. I was wondering if I could replace the 2 rear shocks with Bilstein B4-8 shocks and disconnect the CATS system? Again, it's just a daily driver and nothing more. I want to get out as inexpensive as I can. Is it possible to do the Bilsteins?

I'm not sure what made it go away, but I basically took an aerosol can of grease and squirted every moving joint I could see on the suspension. It was still there but went away after a few days of driving around.
