I get a relatively loud creaking coming from the rear, but it's only when the chassis is undergoing torsional stress. For instance, speedbumps that I go over really slow or when I enter a steep driveway at an angle.

Otherwise, she's quiet, even going over regular bumps in the road. Last night at about 2am I had the car almost completely sideways due to a very bumpy dirt road and 180 degree turn. I hadn't planned on it, but it was like the road kicked out the rear for me and all I had to due was add some go pedal and pull myself out of the turn. fun fun fun.

lithium grease 'em. also check swaybar bracket and for broken spring

D.Ross

where should I grease though? The perches? I doubt a spring is broken... car handling great nowadays

I've heard some other people having similar noises. I kind of assumed that it's quite common and that there's no harm in it so I haven't bothered doing anything about it. Hmmm.....

I always get it when I enter my driveway, because the left front or right front is elevated above the rest of the car, and that makes the rear suspension groan.

Also, I got the noise when I jacked up the rear to put my winter wheels on...

i'd try spring seats and swaybar bushings

when the top few coils rub against one another. I have it too with my H&R race. Greasing it solves the problem temporarily for a few months maybe.

when entering/exiting my driveway. I didn't hear anything when I recently jacked up my car. I'll have to pay closer attention next time.
