Stopping a loud creaking sound in the rear...

Hey everyone again. I have a bad creaking sound in the rear of my Geo. I would suspect it coming from the top of the rear springs, in the little rubber piece that is between the body and the spring. Is there any way to either get new rubber pieces up there, or a way to lubricate them? I tried to squirt a little brake fluid on those rubber pieces, but I couldn't get at them 100%.
Any help would be appreciated! Any way to get new ones of those? Or to lubricate them so they don't squeak anymore?

...any help would be appreciated! I'd LIKE to get new rubber pieces, instead of trying to lubricate the old ones...Any idea where I can find them to purchase?

I've never had to do any work on this part of my Geo, so I'm not any means a good source of advise on this. But, do you think the problem might be with the rear shocks? Why not get a price for a new set and then decide if it's worth the gamble.

I actually did change all the struts, and strut mounts. I was thinking it was the struts, but the old ones were no good. But no, the noise is still there. It is coming from the rubber pieces on top of the coil springs, in between the coil spring and the body of the car. Just not sure how to fix that problem. Maybe I should repost this also in the teamswift forum.
