RE: sqeaking noise in rear
i have never heard of this. First of all I dont know what you mean by strut in the rear?
the rear has springs, shocks, a few links, and the swaybar+bushings.
There is one of the links that wears and causes a rattle.. (like a worn out taxi rattle!) and there is also the parking brake cables that squeak when you go over speed bumps.
test the brake cable theory by driving over the bump with the hand brake lightly applied.
It is easy to deal with, dip your finger in some grease, then lie down just ahead of the rear wheels, and apply the grease to the cable sheath just where it passed though the hanger under the body.
