So after I parked I hopped out and gave the rear end a shove down. Sure enough .... ding ding, the poly rear axle bushings I only put in a couple months ago(if that). The lube was used ... but apparently it's not there anymore. lol.

I have heard that regular Poly bushes such as yours do this as a matter 
of course.  A friend however got some graphite powder and dusted all the 
parts he used heavily.  He did this on the sway bar bushes on a Mercedes 
SLC (Beverly Hills Chevy), and has yet to hear complaints from the 
owners (three of them).  That may do it, but I don't know...

G/L with it...
