Default Squeaking driving me crazy

Took the vette out of storage and when i'm driving i hear a squeak coming from under the rear so when i get out and push down it squeaks like crazy. I don't think it's the shocks maybe that long spring thing not sure what it is called. Has anyone had this same squeak sound please let me know it's driving me thank you. Oh it is a coupe if that matters.

I had that happen about a year ago when I replaced my shocks it turned out the the rubber bushing at the top of the rear shock was making all the noise.

I losened it up placed a little grease on top of the rubber bushing and no more sqeeks. I guess the rubber was just a little dry, Hate when that happens

The usual is the sway-bar bushings. They are cheap and easy to replace.
