MG MGA - Sqeeking Rear End

I have just completed 5000 miles of relative troublefree motoring in my Mk2 Coupe (purchased last year) and recently the rear end has started to squeek when I bounce the car and also when driving over uneven surfaces. I have tried rubber lubricant on the bushes! I appreciate possibly many causes but are there any main points I should look for ?

Shock absorbers with no oil sometimes squeak or groan with vertical motion. You might not notice non-functional shocks on the back. Check and top up the shock oil first to see if that might be the easy fix.

Thanks Barney
Will check the rear shocks tonight
