Is like right around the left Rear tire are, and the funny things is when I stop the car, from a long drive it sounds like is still going thru the bumps for a minute, then it stops...Weird

I had this same issue and it turned out to be a bushing in the lower rear control arm. I found a new one on ebay and replaced and the squeak is gone.

The problem is the busings are not replacable so the whole lower control arm on my X had to be replaced. My mechanic figured it out by using a stethoscopee

Mine had a similar issue. Dealer said it was the rear upper control arm.

It could be grease is missing from within the bushings....

I've heard of squeeks coming from the flap the covers the hinges when the tailgate is down....I don't supposed it could be that? Drive w/ the tailgate down but the hatch closed - ya never know.
