Squeaking and "unsteadiness" in the rear end
Any help appreciated.
I have a 1991 firebird which i bought not too long ago which has a high pitch squeak with any bump or unlevel ground. If car goes over speed bump, it feels like "hitting rock bottom". With the car parked, i can bump the car with my hip(from right to left), and i can reproduce the noise. If I push down on the trunk, the car will hit bottom, and come up very slowly.
Thanks in advanced.

Sounds like the shocks need to be replaced at the very least.

I was planning to start with new shocks and bushings. The shocks i was considering was Monroe sensatracs. Any suggestions?
