Odd sound in the rear

I've been hearing a "chirping" sound coming from the rear passenger wheel whenever i go over a bump, like a manhole cover.
I'm guessing it's a suspension issue.

I don't have the cash to get it serviced quite yet, so I'm wondering anyone has any idea as to what it could be?

Maybe an angry bird. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I have not heard a noise like you described, but I'm guessing someone else in this forum may have. Just a guess but could it be a dry rubber anti-sway bar bushing?

bowtieboy-

Take a look at the rear coil spring end caps, one goes on each end. They look like hats. Sometimes they deteriorate & some falls away, giving the coil spring a steel to steel contact.. Which can make some weird noises...

No rubber sway bar bushings in the rear..
