Default Squeak from driver's side rear suspension when it rains

Like the title says, I just bought a 04' Crossfire and noticed that when it rains, the driver side rear suspension components squeak when I hit a bump/get in and out of the car/push down on the *** end of the car. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have experienced the same thing on my '05. I have never looked into it though.

I will be getting it checked out seeing as I now have to bring the car in due to a Check Engine light.

What a wonderful first week this has been with my Crossfire. Already the Check Engine light has come on, the suspension is creaking loudly, and the CD player skips and fails to read the disk if it gets too hot.

Just wonderful.

I have experienced the same problem twice. Last october it was on the passenger side, They changed a bushing to fix the problem, they told me. I have to get to my dealer next week for the driver side this time, again for a bushing.

Something funny about this. I wanted to have the problem repaired at the same time I was doing the oil change but the dealer did not have the part in stock. I was talking to the technician while waiting and I told him it was the second time I brought the car in for the problem and ask if this is a common problem.

He said no and probably it is because: "YOU USE THE CAR IN THE WINTER".

I did not know that Crossfire was just for summer driving.

As far as the radio goes...there is a TSB/recall for some of the later model radios. Mine has been replaced twice under warranty, and have not experienced anymore problems.
