Squeaky Suspension 850

My mechanic checked through my 855T Wagon and said all looks well. Front end is as tight as can be, although he never found where the occasional light clunk was coming from. He lubed the heck out of the front end in hopes to get rid of any noises and it seems to have worked. My question is about the rear suspension. The Left rear wheel squeaks when you push up and down on the bumper or when you get in/out of the car. I gather this is bushings? Can they be greased up to get rid of the noise or will only changing them out get rid of the squeaks? What is the life cycle on struts, bushings, spring cups, and sprigs? I'm hoping I am not nearing the point where I will have to start replacing the suspension components. Car has 98K on it now, I think I have heard of others going about 150K before touching any of this.

Thanx.

Keith
