i just changed my rims back to the stock 17s on my 05 sedan...when i drive below 20mph and relatively quiet, i can hear the rear passenger wheel well squeak...i dont know if its the springs or not...i tried to push down my car on the rear passenger side and i hear it squeaking too...what could it be?
I did my search and came up with g35s that are pre-05 front squeak due to compression rods...any advise would be appreciated

its a bushing. make sure to get it REPLACED and not just oiled. 3 times the dealership oiled mine and within 1 day it was squeaking again. I brought it in a 4th time and gave them the keys, said 3 strikes you're out. replace the damn bushing FFS.
they did

^^thanks...anything else it might be other than the bushings?
It's a faint squeak but enough to bother me...and it should not cost that much for parts and labor right? thanks

I'd say it is either bushings or compression rods. I've got a creaking type of noise out of my front driver side when I go over slight bumps. I'm pretty sure it is the bushings since my suspension is all aftermarket.

if its in the front, and sounds liek a clunk, its your compression rods. if its in the rear and its a squeak, its your swaybar bushing.
hoen: when you say all your suspension is aftermarket, you replaced the compression rods with what exactly? I only ask because I'd be interested to know what's out there for when mine go again (as I am sure they eventually will and i'll be out of warranty!)

Did you lube up the bushings in the end links yet???
Trust me on this. It is not your sway bar bushings. Its most likely the bushings on the little metal bar that attaches to the ends of your sway bars.
Spray some CRC Heavy Duty Silicon on bushings of the end links before anything else. The
