My rear suspension is squeaking bad

Hello,

About 1 month ago or so I had this issue where over uneven surfaces such as driveways, uneven roads or speed bumps would cause my rear suspension to make a squeaking noise, this only lasted a few days and it magically went away so I never looked deeper into it.

I drifted my car yesterday, not sure if that's the cause of it coming back but it's back.

Same thing, squeaking of my rear end while driving over uneven/bumpy roads, driveways and speedbumps etc...

However I jumped in my truck and tried jumping up and down and I could not hear any squeaks or anything, it's only activated while driving unless I am just not putting enough strain on the suspension to make it squeak.

Either way it's really annoying, my guess is that it's the Ball joints, and that I need to manually re-lubricate them on both sides with a needle and syringe.

Let me know what you think is wrong.

Check out these 2 videos, one is me driving down a bumpy road and the other is speed bumps.

Let's get back to it... it could be blown shocks. Shocks are done.

At that mileage, and since you're in Canada just like me I'll bet money on rear ball joints.
