Squeaky sound as I go over speed bumps

I get this squeaky sound as i go over speed bumps and even as i go up my driveway (driveway is steep). I can replicate it by pushing down on the back side of the car. I think it might be the back suspension?? the front doesnt make the sound when i push down on it. Could it have anything to do with installing ct sways??

Two months after having the CT sways installed on my CLS 6sp, the rear sway bar bushings started to squeak. It got so bad; it was embarrassing to drive the car. Anyway, replaced the polyurethane bushings with the hard-rubber ones CT now ships with their swaybars. It's been at least 4 month since replacing the bushings and haven't heard a squeak.

Alternatively, you can lube your rear bushings. But you'll have to do this every few months. Unless you're doing serious road racing, just replace the bushings.

It's probably the rear sway bushings.

My front is squeaking. I assumed it was the bushings.
