2nd gen rear shocks

Any suugestions on reducing squeeky rear shocks on a 91 rx7 coupe? My car has low miles (45K) but the rear shocks begin to squeek loudly once the car is driven several miles. The noise goes away once the car sits for awhile. Can the shocks be lubed at all, or should they be replaced. Any suggestions for replacement shocks? The car is pretty much stock with the exeption of a Racing Beat catback exhaust. Thanks.

It might also be any number of bushings.
If it's the shocks, I'd just replace them. KYB GR2's if you're on a budget.
Good luck

Travis R is correct it could be any # of bushings.

If your looking for more of a performance feel I am a big fan of the Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable struts, for street cars.

Also look for any metal rubbing. I thought my new suspension was really squeeky, until I found out that the new bolts I used on the rear end links were too long, and rub against some metal.
