compression rod squeak
I brought mine into the dealer for specifically this problem and as expected they say they can't reproduce the noise. I'm going to replace my sway bar end links first and if that doesn't solve the problem I'm definitely going back on my next oil change and driving the car with the service advisor.

...also one dealer said it was b/c of the way my springs sit! GRRr (even though it sqeaked before i got them in) and all i had to was step in and out of my car to reproduce the sqeakss or give the trunk a push down....

i actually went underneath the car and shot silicone, and lube on just about anything made of rubber/plastic,from the front to the back of the car.
really loaded it up, and believe it or not, it actually quieted the squeaks/groans. much more pleasant sounding.
i am sure it is short lived, but at least it helped. i know i will be back at the dealer again, trying to make him hear the noises when they return, and start pi**ing me off again.

I had my compression rods replaced and the squeak came back. Had them lubed 1 month ago, and it was like they did nothing. It weird. I hear that damn squeak every morning at my work parking garage. I think it's due to some rubbing. I make a sharp "S" turn from right then to left to get in my parking spot and it squeaks. I can sometimes even make it squeak without moving forward...just turning the wheel all the way to the right and then to the left. Sucks! I'm going in again on Tuesday to drive it with them to show them the squeak. I think my next step is Infiniti Consumer Affairs. It's as bad as my old Altima!
