Default It's probably either the H&R's binding, or the rear transverse links failing...

but the first step if figure out where the noise is coming from- just throwing grease in there may just mask a more serious problem.

Default does it creaks? mine does it too...i replaced the rear links and it's still there

it's either the springs but i doubt it...my better guess is the control arm bushings...i never replaced those yet
you?

Default my bet is on the rear lateral control arm (tie rod). sounds like bushings, I blamed mine on RSB

bushing, removed whole thing still got the noise, found to be RLC
