Yes, that's it. Upon reading posts it seems as if the 150k mile mark is the norm to have them replaced. I have over 230k miles on my car so it's time.

I must add that it's only the drivers side that makes the noise, several years ago I was t-boned right at the rear wheel and never had it looked at since it drove fine, and still does. The squeak only developed 6 months ago and has slowly got worse as time has gone on, now it squeaks all the time, but still drives very well. I doubt that the accident has anything to do with it but it might add some work.

I might just redo the whole rear end since I'll already have the suspension apart.
