creaking?? from where? Like clunking or creaking... I think I hear cabbies/taxies do this all the time... that's when you know it's time for a new car LOL

sounds like suspension needs alittle bit of grease somwhere, my rear right makes a similar sound when the suspension compresses slowly...pulling into my driveway and such...I havenet had time to pinpoint it tho, ill post when I cure it, might be the same thing...

ya, kinda sounds like rubber bushings on mounts..
with the rubber one's it's best to replace them..
with neoprene a little graphite should fix it up..

you know what, Si Veloz you hit that one right on the head...Its gotta be my bushings, I was going to replace them when i did my suspension (cuz they were all cracked, split and pooched looking), but I wanted to save for an energy poly master kit and do them all...I have since compleatly forgotten about my bushings! Im gonna put that master kit on top of my next purchace list...Thanks for reminding me, its gotta be the damn bushings, how could i be so negligent

I would still check your ball and cv joints having messed up bushing puts extra stress on the joints (since there is more movement and play in the connections then) just get them checked...
