Tried changing the rear shocks with new but after getting one off there was nothing wrong with it. Both rear shocks did not look that old. The shock was strong and not needing changing. Put the old one back on. I used para cord, aka 550 cord, top to bottom to keep shock compressed and it slid right back into the lower control arm. The phantom squeak, after spraying silicone on all bushings and grommets is still there but very diminished. Maybe it will completely disappear with use!
