Bad squeaking in the rear

Anyone know what this might be, or is it just time for new shocks and springs?

Hard to understand what you mean by "squeek". My second S5 also had a squeek in the rear. Turned out to be a spare tire not secured tightly. Silly solution huh?

Yeah its been the spare before, I should probably go back there and tighten everything up. But it does it when I turn, go over even mild bumps slowly,etc. Not very bouncy though, I think.

Before you do anything check your muffler hangers. They look like big black rubber donuts. I had a bad squeek and thought it was shocks but it was a cheap $5.00 hanger!

Mine rattles because my rear right muffler's barely hanging on. And there's a prominent thud every time I go over any imperfection because my shocks, struts and springs are all shot. And, despite having new (shitty) brakes, it squeals when I stop... I guess I need to start getting this stuff fixed.
