Suspension squeak (pic)
A month or so ago a squeak developed in my left rear suspension over small bumps at low speeds. I had the dealer look at it and they couldn't hear the noise. After seeing the H&R springs they said they wont track down a squeak under warranty because I modified the suspension. They did lubricate everything though which didn't help.
After getting it home I took the rear wheels off and found this part (on the other side of the car though) that had some rubber sticking out of the "bushing?" This is also where the squeak seems to be coming from. Does anyone know what this part is and how much a dealer might charge to replace?. I assume it's not a DIY? When I take it back I want to be able to tell them where I think it's coming from.

Thanks Ben, unfortunately it's not the sways.
Here is the side where the squeak is coming from. As you can see the rubber "bushing"? is coming out the side. Since my dealer said everything looked fine, I'd like to be able to tell them what this part is.
Anyone know?
