Rear squeaks over bumps
When I drive slowly into parking lots over those speed bumps I get an annoying squeak coming from the rear. I have sways and I've lubed them up really well. Is there something else in the suspension that could be causing the squeaks? It really is embarrasing coming from a luxury car.

mine squeaks a bit too... I wonder what it is... you can't hear it from the outside but it craks a bit from the inside. I think it may be the chassis flexing a bit.

I had that problem before just when I purchased my car. I took it back the dealer and they lubed the suspension bushings..and the noise went away ever since...

same thing happened to me. Dealer first said, it was the strut that was blown, so they replaced the rear right strut. The noise was still there so they said they were going to look into it. It came out to be that the suspension needed some readjustment. Its fixed now, no probs after that

I have exact same thing. Its more like something shifts or flexes... not really a squeak. O boy, not another visit to dealership 
Its my first new car that I own, and I've been so many times to the dealership fixing here and there.... is it normal? or there is something wrong with Acura??

after having CT sways in for about 6 months, squeaking happened...some car grease later, no issues
make sure non-water based grease is used, otherwise, it'll dry out again and the squeak will come back

I've also got a squeaky CT rear swaybar. Is there any type of spray type lubricant that would be safe to use on the polyurethane bushings that would stop the squeaking for several weeks? The reason I ask, is I don't have the time remove, lube and reinstall the bushings. I'd prefer to just spray the bushings cause I'm due to bring in my CLS to the dealer early next month where they will replace the bushings with hard rubber bushings, along with installing konis/CT strutbar & catback exhaust.

Well, back to the subject. I have stock CLS, and my rear-right spring squeaks every time I go over something like speed bump (slowly). You can hear it more from inside than outside. Now I can easily reproduce the problem: if I pull my car up and down (right above rear-right tire) to make the spring flex, I hear the same noise. it only happens on one side. need to show to my dealership.
I have another pending problem (last winter my heating seat on passenger side was getting very little warm if any). I bet this winter it will be even worse.

Take a long hard look at the sway bar end links .These are known noisemakers but are frequently overlooked .WHat you are looking for a is looseness and or a large amount of rust where the link is attached to the end of the sway bar indicating that it s moving around a bit making a squeek .

The good thing that I can reproduce the problem just by lifting the car right above the right-rear tire. Its not a loud noise, just something doing "shh-shhh-shhh", nothing like that happens on the other spring.

An update: just came back from the dealer, they ordered right rear strut for noise from suspension. This is the cause of squeaking when I go over speed bumps (at least in my case)
