You need to provide a little more detail. Squeaks are usually sway bar bushings, rattles could be bushings, collars, brackets and on and on...

I had a squeak from my rear suspension, but only when it was below 50deg outside. Turned out to be the emergency brake cable rubber shield rubbing against the trailing arm. A slight adjustment of the pan-tie and the squeaking was gone. You may want to check that. Otherwise, check all points that move under the rear. Just work on one set of points at a time to isolate the problem. Good luck.

Since installing the aussie bar I have experienced many new squeeks. Possible that the upper half is flexing now...

My rear struts have been squeaky since I bought the car 2 1/2 years ago. I have heard this is a common problem with the 98's

LIL SVT:
Unless you changed the suspenison, you should be OK. Except for the the right rear side of your car will get a squeak, i heard was from fuel filter or something. (Just grease it up)
