The squeeking in the rear comes from the lower control arm bushings. It only occurs in weather approximately below 0C or 32F. Mitsu is currently working on a fix as they do not have any replacements that will not squeek. If they relplace the bushings with the ones they have they will squeek the very next morning.
Apparently Mitsu is working on a fix somewhere in Quebec. Once they find a bushing that fits that does not squeek they will be replacing them. (Note: the same issue is occuring with the new Outlanders as they share the same bushings.)
The best thing to do is call your local dealership and find out when they will have a permanent fix.
Have a great day everyone!

Car rides, tracks, and corners fine, but I'll be watching for weird wear patterns on the rear tires. I'll get the alignment checked next time I buy tires, unless I find reason to do so earlier.

I went to my dealer yesterday and he told me that the problem comes from the six bushings at the back of our car... Apparently, water infiltrate the bushings and that's what cause that weird sound. The guy took my phone number and names and order the parts but he told me that they receive them very slowly... BTW he told me that they is no danger... only this annoying squeeks. My temporally solution is to put the beat up!!! lol
Edit: he also told me that all lancers have this problem...
