Unhappy Replaced S.B. Endlinks & Bushings - Still Squeaks!

After extensively researching this, I replaced the sway bar endlinks and bushings with SPL and Prothane. I still have this (slightly old mattress sounding) squeak in my right rear suspension area.

I can still make it squeak by pushing on the rear bumper. My Bilstein PSS coilovers have only 5-6k miles on them. Could it be the rear strut? It doesn't keep bouncing like a bad strut/shock.

What else could it be?

PLEASE HELP!

Did you properly lubricate the bushings with grease?

I have tein basics and my car squeeks going over any kind of bumps an even when I turn into my parking spot if I straighten out the wheel it squeeks.. I'm guessing it's gotta be my endlinks?? I only notice it when it gets cold out..

Thought that only applied to the front...I could be wrong.

try disconnecting the sway bar links then push on the bumper again.
This should tell you if it's the sways or not.
