Rear Torsion Beam Bushing Making Noise?

Just wanted to get an opinion from people on here. I'm getting a noise that sounds exactly like a dryed up bushing. Problem is, I don't know if it the actual Shock that is making the noise or the bushing on the torsion beam. Its coming from the passenger side. The shocks are not leaking however they are the factory shocks with 62K on them. The noise sounds like the squeaking of an old mattress. Anyone have a similar experience?

I have it too and at times its very loud. When I had FE5 shocks it even caused bottoming out, which others have also reported. Konis fixed the bottoming out luckily. Powell said something to the effect of the rear beam isn't lined up perfectly with the body https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/susp...-think-274275/

Not much info, what conditions or any mods? The squeaking could be from a worn spring seat. Start easy and cheap.
