Squeeky Rear Over Bumps

[MVOffroad]

I just started noticing I'm getting some noisy squeeking from my rear drivers side area when I go over bumps. I can easily reproduce it by standing on my bumper and bouncing up and down. I can even reproduce it by pushing on the body from below with my hand and not a ton of pressure. I crawled under the back and used some silicone on the joints in the area but that didn't seem do to anything. It was hard to tell but it didn't sound like my shocks or anything near the wheel was squeeking. It almost sounded like the chassis right above the track bar and sway bar was squeeking and also faintly on the passenger side too. Even though I sprayed the sway bar bushings could they still be the culprit? The attached image is where it appears to sound the loudest. Any ideas?

Not sure on your squeak but I would use a spray bottle with water Things like wd40 and stuff like it is hard on rubber items. The water if sprayed in the right spot will show you your squeak just like oil will

Following. Started noticing this on mine, but on the passenger side. Next oil change, I plan on re-checking the torque on the control arms, shocks, etc.

Take the frame brackets off the sway bar and put a little grease on them. To lazy, try squirting some WD40 there first as a test.

This stuff works very well on rubber.

I had a Dakota back in the day that at every oil change I had to spray silicone on the sway bar bushings due to squeaks. Silicone grease might work better but I never took the time to unbolt it a grease the bushings.
