So when i hit a bump theres this horrible squeak and i dont have much knowledge about vehicles so i gave in and asked the stupid question. What in the world could it be?

Be more specific. Is it metal on metal? Rubber bushing maybe? Its a squeak and not a clunk? Where on the vehicle do you hear it?
 
Sorry, i should have been. Its coming from the rear and sounds like something needs greased or maybe a bushing... It was greased when i had my tires put on...1000 miles ago
 
i have a squeak too... it happens when i go over a bump... sounds like a stress kind of squeak from the front... like stepping on an old wood floor. i can recreate by stepping on the breaks or going over a bump. i'm curious to see everyone's ideas
 
sounds like it could be a u-joint. i had a very loud sqeaking and took FOREVER to figure it out, but it did it when goin over bumps and in reverse only. replace the far most u-joint by the axle and wala. no more noise. Not positive but you can give it a shot.
 
lol, thats quite a bit of stuff. our rear ends have a four link suspension. Check all your bushing back there. You have have bushings for a sway bar link, and ones for your trailor arms ( i believe thats what their called not sure so call me a dumba** if im wrong lol. but there is alot so just go over everything first, and you could save some money.
 
Check your shock bushings, the top ones....sometimes the little metal washers rust out and get torn up resulting in pretty bad squeaking.
