My old shocks would squeak everytime I would even touch the car. Maybe hit the shocks with a bit of lube?

Not too sure...

Maybe some silicone spray, or white grease?

Could it be your polyurethane bushings? You may need to lube them.

Re: car squeaking all the sudden..help

Sorry for the slow response. The sray lithium grease should work atleast for the short term. It should certainly verify that your bushings are the source of your noise. For long term cure you may need to detach the trailing arms and lube the faces of the bushings where they run against the brackets with graphite synthetic brake lube. Its the best product Ive found for this.
