I have been hearing this creaking sound coming from the rear end lately. It only happens when I am rolling on a hill or driving through a parking lot or making a right hand turn. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? At first I thought it was my brakes rubbing together then I thought I was the rack and pinion, but I replaced that and its still making the sound. Any ideas

worn out universal joints will make noise check them out, also check all the suspension bushings. Dryed out bushings will creak/squeak.

Yeah, see if the sound gets worse with another person or two in the car. If it does I'd go with bushings.

My car was doing that. I changed the bushing, springs, shocks in the back and it went away. my driveshaft was rubbing on one of my mufflers and those situations were enough to get it to happen when it looked like I had over an inch of room... My bushings were toast, especially on my UCA's...
