Endlink squeaking?
Not entirely sure, due to the camera being moved all around, if that sound is even coming from the outside of the car. Sounds more like an interior squeak (trim panel somewhere or center console) than anything. Endlinks, in and of themselves, won't make noise. They're just a solid bar with bolts on the ends. The bushings on those bolts could* make noise, but honestly they're one of the suspension components that moves the least.
Any particular reason your first thought was the endlinks? I ask because if you've got some info that I'm missing I'll try to correct what I posted above, but if that's just a guess I'd say no. It sounds like something in the interior to me (at least from that video), but could very well be any of the suspension bushings or a rear spring not seated correctly.
Try to get a better video, if you have or can borrow a GoPro from someone see about mounting it under the car to watch whats happening in the suspension and get a closer look / listen at each corner.

Thank You
Seriously doubt if what you're hearing has anything to do with your swaybar endlinks even if they were lose. Climb around your interior and bang on everything, see if you can create that noise. Gotta love unwanted noises....Gary
I have a very similar squeak going on in mine too, in the rear, but haven't been able to locate it either. I suspect it's coming from the tops of one of the rear shocks in my case (either the bushings, bound bumper, etc.or the Tokico D-spec extension rod rubbing on something).
Well i put my seat back up and seems like the noise is gone, but i remember driving with the rear seat up before and it was still making it. Oh well will see if it comes back
My back seat is up so I don't think it has to do with that. I suspect something in the rear package shelf area, the shock attachment points or the bushings, bound bumpers, etc.

You can do bushing replacements yourself, the hardest part is uninstalling whatever you need to replace the bushings from. If you're comfortable doing that you'll be fine. Search DIY bushing removal and you'll get a feel for what's involved. There are a couple methods for doing this without a press that are relatively straight forward.
Cost of the bushings will depend on which ones (location), material, and manufacturer. Whiteline and Energy Suspension are some popular ones, and SPL makes some good higher end stuff.
