squeaky suspension?

i noticed my car seems to have a squeak if you bounce over a hill or even kinda get in it and just drop into the seat i figured out its coming from the drivers side rear wheel and idk what it could be i do have it currently on ss/sc springs could the crappy stock strut be gone already? i noticed it over the past few weeks there is no diffrerence at all how the car handles or feels just seems kinda cheap when it does squeak

ha like under 10k but it seems the same as the shocks/struts going on my friends golf so thats why i thought of it but since i havent done much to the suspension yet should i bring it to the dealership? my only is that theyll put a stock 2.2 spring back on then it'll be all messed up

I have a similar squeak from the rear. Was found to be the bushings on the rear trailing arms, started after about 5,000 miles. It gets louder when hot and humid.

To confirm that this is, or is not the problem, have the dealer put it on a lift, losen the bolts on the trailing arms, and have them bounce the rear of the car. If the noise is gone, make them tighten the bolts and try again. If noise comes back, thats the problem.

If thats not the problem, keep searching.
