You don't have to replace the bushing, simply lubricating the bushing with penetrating oil should do the trick. Mine has started squeaking hard as well recently, just gotta find the time to lube them up. Oh if it were a blown shock . . . you would know.

A blown shock would knock up the body wouldn't it? I'll try lubing the bushing, ifit wont work i'll post a vdeo wit the sound or something

Dmn shock cost half a hand and one foot here in iceland! Cheaper to get used coilovers from the us then one shock back here!

Get under the car with a can of silicon lubricant and spray everything that looks rubber, it'll solve your problem.
