Default Suspension is squeaky... help

I have a 95 SC300 and the rear suspension squeaks all over. It's not just one or two particular bushings I don't think. I didn't know if there was a specific method of maybe greasing them down or if I have to replace them or just get some ear plugs...?

Any information would be helpful

My rear squeaks too. Mostly when I'm going up the driveway and hit a lil bump at slow speeds. Its pretty annoying. It doesnt happen when I'm going liek 20 or 30 MPH. Its at speed bumps and driveways at slow speeds. I think its time to change the shocks

yeah, that's how mine is... i just didn't know if there were other people that've experienced the same thing because I desperately want to fix whatever it is but no one can pinpoint it for me.

I had the same problem with my rear suspension, I bought some heavy duty bushes through the following people:

www.whiteline.com.au

They are the reseller for SuperPro bushes online.
(based in Australia)
Catalog:
http://www.superpro.com.au/docs/superpro.pdf

It's usually the rear upper inner control arm bush that goes and starts squeaking away. You can pick up all (most) of the pieces for your suspension (unfortunately not available as a total kit).

These bushes are cheaper then the genuine article which I believe was around $1000 for the complete suspension from toyota and much much more stronger then the originals.

Just trying to remember the part numbers I got for mine. I'll post that up shortly once I download a 12meg file through a 56k modem.

btw - can someone help me out on this thread ? PLZ !
