Default Clicking Noise

I am hoping someone may have an idea where this clicking, squeaking
noise is coming from. I hear it when I rock the car up and down on the left rear.... or just getting out of the car. Must be somewhere in the rear suspension?
Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,

007.

Bad shock or shock bushing would be my first guess. Sometimes a loose wheel band will make noise if you have rally wheels.

It's not a wheel band.... rear shocks are firm and the bushings seem to be good. Guess
I will try to get under there as far as possible and get someone to rock the left rear. lol

Thanks for your reply.

That's what ya got to do! It could be anything from a body mount to a shock. Take your time and be methodical. I usually use lithium grease in a spray can. It foams up well to penetrate and it sticks!
