suspention squeaking. please help

ok so far i have only noticed the rear suspention is squeaking , and only when its 40 degrees or below that. i think its the bushings but im not sure. its odd that it only does it when its cold out. anyone have any sugestions on what to do? ever happen to anyone else? i want to take it in but im afraid if i do and they drive the car, they wont notice the squeaking and i will be S O L. most of the time u cant hear it, but on a cold dry night it is as loud as a 13 y/o virgin. what do i do????

There is a rubber insert that the spring rests in on the upper rear suspension mounting point. This is where the noise is coming from. Not sure if there are any solutions my car has been doing it when it got cold since new. I am installing some WORKS pillowball mounts though and that should take care of it.

well i do have a new set of coilover going in spring time , will that eliminate the noise or does that rubber mount get reused with the new suspension?

Should take care of it, the rubber piece is part of the upper mount and I do not think you would reuse it for any reason.
