Sometimes I can hear a squeaking (i hope that is the right word :) ) noise in the back when coming off the bump or the curb. I think it is the shock absorber mount or something like this.
Do you think about anything else that may cause the noise? Where can I buy required parts and is it a big problem to change them?

Thanks in advance.

Is it a squeak or a chiry vibration?

I had a chirpy vibration, and it can from the rear seat clips that hold them in the upright position. to fix it put some tape round the mating point with the clip and the chirp stops. try putting the seats down and doing the same thing that gives you the squeak, at least it will rule out the seat back clips.

Does it apply to recaro sits as well?
I think it's rather squeak (well... at least I think it is cause I am not the best with all these onomatopoeias)

I had some noise in the back as well but fitting a rear strut brace appears to have got rid of it

But mine happens ONLY when I'm coming off bumps, curbs or if I go over the hole (ditch ?) on the road.
Did you have this same experience.

No probably just when cornering .I tend to try and avoid curbs and ditches as I wouldn't have a bumper or side sills as it is too low to chance going over them

No, I am sure it's nothing in the boot. I believe that it is shock absorbers mount.
