When going over bumps, at slow speed or fast there is a clear "squeek" from the rear suspension. Before this develops into something serious I think I'll sort it out. Any ideas what it could be?
Suspension bushes? If it is the bushes, how much am I looking it at to get it changed?

Many thanks :)
 
All four corners look to have an even gap between the wheel and the arch. If this is so, could it still be the shock absorber?
The squeek isn't bad or loud but can be heard with the radio off.

Check for oil on the shocks that is a good indication that ones blown. When you bounce the car can you hear it then?
 
Probably a split bush on the lower control arms or trailing arm. It will need replacing.

Shocks + oil dont really make much noise, whether the oil is on the inside or outside.
