Default Creaky suspension
As the title suggests, my rear suspension makes these weird creaky noises over bumps. Do suspensions bushings or springs or something need lubricating? Or is it symptom of something more serious?

I had a similiar problem last summer turned out one of my rear springs had cracked best way would be to lift up your car and check everything is ok

Hard to see a squeak...

Anything in particular to look for?

most likely it is your bushings...spray some wd40 on it..

you would know it were your springs if your car bottmed out on a small road dip
