Default rear squeak while turning right. (01 Blazer 4x4 4 door LT)

turning slightly right yeilds a squeak, not sure if shocks, rear sway or what not, also seems to now give more body roll when turning left (body leans noticiblly more to the right when making sharper left turns)

Any ideas of what is causing the sqeak? haven't WD40'd possible spots such as the shock bushings ect. but I'm guessing that is what is making the squeak.

I should note it sounds like short rapid sqeaking. Only when progressively turning right. But never left. And any slight angle to the right causes it. Started after a loud clunk when I bottomed out while offroading

I've been leaning twards shocks for the whole time, but it throws me off that my ride quality isn't affected besides the roll when turning left.

but theres no wet subtance at the center of the shock.

I would start with the shocks first, 80k on shocks is a lot.
When I had my 94 the front would pitch and roll a lot when turning, and would squeek when going over bumps and turning, and it drove me insane. did not see any shock oil, I changed them out, once I got them out it was obvious that they were shot, put in some new ones, rode quiet and perfect.

yea, I truly thought it was shocks from the first squeak, but honestly this thing just rolled over 201k and problem after problem is rearing its head mechanically so I wasn't sure, but the body is solid, looks maybe 50k miles old. I don't quite think there 80, but their definitely over 35k, as that's what I've put on

start with the shocks and work your way from there, I racked my brain on the squeak, ball joints, control arm bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, checked um all, all were good. Keep us updated
