high pitched squeek.

When my car hits a bump or a pot hole in the road there's this high pitched squeaking that comes from the back, almost like there is a mouse that gets scared . On smooth roads it doesn't do it at all, but as soon as it hits a bump it'll squeak for about a mile or two down the road and it'll just quit. The only time I could re-produce the sound standing still is when I rev up my car.

I think it could be the gas tank strap anti squeak padding could be running out. But I don't wanna replace them and find it was something else. What do y'all think?

I also live about 2 miles down a dirt road so it could just be some dust or dirt lodged in a place it don't belong

Here's the video, you could hear it clear on my phone but I can't hear it at all on my computer speakers, but that could be because they're really cheap brand.

^^^ leaf spring bushings? shocks? Before you start dismantling your car I would go around and spray every bushing first and see what happens.

I just replaced the shocks, and I am still running the stock break away mounts. I am using the stock leaf springs still. So it could very well be them, do I need to spray them with PB blaster?

Yes, that would eliminate them as the source.

You may have a broken leaf that's moving around making the noise.
