It's probably the struts. The oem struts are known to blow but the honda dealer tells me that they get lots of civics with struts that squeak. If you have the factory suspension, I would take it to the dealer.
It's very easy to see if your back struts are blown. Just look under the car from the rear and look at the shocks. If they look dry, then they are not blown. You can also use your hand to feel around the shock... if there's no liquid, you're ok.
I don't have a squeak sound, but I have a metallic groaning sound coming from the rear middle part of the car whenever I make a slow left turn, and my struts are fine. Probably just needs some lubing somewhere.
Oh well, part of the aging process I suppose (slightly over 2 years now).
