noise from shock

i have a squeeking/creaking noise coming from the rear of the car so i sat in the back while my wife drove it (holy crap, i knew the rear was small but at 6'1'' and 200lbs it was comical) the noise is coming from the top of the shock, sounds like rubber squeeking against something, is there some way of lubing this area to get rid of this noise ? (i have pss9's...with no other noises or creeks)

Check to make sure that the nuts are tight on the top of the shock tower. You have to lift the carpet up to get access to the nuts. The attached photo sort of shows you where they are - the roll bar bolts in to the same location.

There are several suspension parts just below that, and they could be the source of your squeak as well. You might want to pull the wheel and look at the upper control arms, sway bar connections, etc.
