Chirping sound in the back
Kinda like a bird's chirp chirp .. not constant.. but every now and then ... what ya guys think ... U-joints ?? I did push down on each corner of the car so I don't think it's the shocks

I had some chirping sounds awhile back. Like you said it wasn't constant at first, then after awhile it became constant. I replaced the U-joints and the problem was gone. Try the U-joints, their cheap and easy to replace.
If you are going to replace them yourself and they are the factory U-joints with the Teflon nipples
you will need to heat the Teflon until it drains out before you go beating the old U-joints out.
If not, it shouldn't cost no more than $40-$60 for a lacal shop to do it for you.

I’ve got a twisted axle in mine and that causes the rear caliper to move relative to the backing plate as the tire goes around causing a squeaking like that. Sometimes it almost goes away, sometimes it does it all the time, but most of the time it’s just a once in a while thing, sounds just like brake pad wear indicators but doesn’t act the same.
