Squeeky bushings??
Since the cooler weather has arrived, I've noticed that the Z squeeks like a MF'r every time I hit any type of bump (Minor potholes, highway imperfections, bridge joints, etc). It seems to mostly come from the rear, but the front experiences it as well.
I'm guessing it's the rubber bushings on the control arms or even the front and rear sway bars. Anyone else have this issue? What did you do? Is there a good grease to help minimize or stop this? It's driving me absolutely insane!
I've only had the Z for about 5 months (1100 miles) , but between the damned rattling drivetrain/clutch at stops lights and the constant squeeking I'm quickly beginning to HATE driving this car.

Thanks for the link. Before I posted, I did a search for "squeeky" but nothing usable came back. That's exactly what I needed to know.
