Unhappy chassis squeking at stop

When im backing up and I stop I hear a swaying squeaking sound for about 4-5 seconds. Almost sound like the the fuel pump holder is swaying around or the mounts on top of the struts are squeaking. Not sure about the strut one, but its deffinatly a swaying sqeaking sound. If the car is parked and the ebrake is up, if I push the car back and forth with my arms I can hear it again.

It sounds specfically like somthing is swaying back and forth.

Comments? past experiences? fixes?

Thanks

It almost sounds like the mounts of the struts to the chassis are rocking back and forth..... like the suspension and everything is stopped but the chassis is rocking back and forth and sqeaking.

Hard to explain.

Get the car on a lift and start tugging everything, exhaust, suspension components, etc. If its making the noise for 4-5 seconds after stopping, you'll find it.
