Default Wierd noise from rear suspension when going over bumps??!

I took my car to get new tires and when i left the shop my rear end started making this squeek noise and when i go over a bump theres kindof a ping noise or a thudish sound.. i took it back and told them it didnt do it before i came there and they said theres nothing they can see. so im wondering what it could possibaly be? Any input is appreciated thanks

Recheck the lugnut tightness. Around 85 foot pounds is good for these stock rims.

I would put it on a lift and check the sway bar links, all bearings for play, upper and lower bushings, rear end bushings, driveshaft bushings, strut rod bushings, rack and pinion bushings, and the front lower assembly bolts, size 19mm.

Also check the brake guards. They sometimes push them in and out by accident, and it is hitting the rotors.
