Mine's doing it too, think I'm gonna just pull out some silicone spray I've got and spray on the leafs to see if it'll fix it.

my front was doing it. front driver to be exact. it has kinda quit. my problem was shocks and it got worse with higher temps too. some how my shocks are kinda fixing themselves. they were damaged by being lowered about 4.5" for almost two weeks. that's my personal experiences with squeaks.

My rears are squeak very bad, usally in the summer time. I got them to shut up by WD-40 on the pads of the leafs. I did it just to find out what is was. now just got to clean them up and put some dry lube on them.

that noise is to common, my 98 and 94 had it, my 01 right now has it slight but not annoying,

Tiburon had it terribly but just got it fixed, maybe he can chime in.

oh and also the dealer told me not to use wd40 or any of those quick fixes, it will just make it worse.

I had it very bad on my 02. I took to a Mexico to get ti fixed. It runed it was the plasitc pads in between the leaf sprinds. They tols vever to use any kind of oil or wd40. It was fixed by applying some kind of bladk tar looking substance. It's all gone now.
