are your brake shoes out of adjustment. creaking is usually the shoes dragging.

trailing arm bushings are known to go on our cars. They normally cause a squeeking though..

i have this weird creaking, which finally went away... but comes back every now and then... what i narrowed it down to... since it sounded pretty loud inside the car... it sounded like it was coming from my rear speakers somewhere.

my creaking is the spring sitting against the top-hats on my shock... there is a rubber insert that goes in between the spring and the top-hat right where it sit inside... when that wears it makes a metal on metal noise... i only used to hear it like turning in and going over speed bumps... sometimes yes and sometimes no... sooo... just an idea.

honestly man, it took me a good 4 months until someone gave me this as a suggestions... you would have to remove the entire shock and the assembly and pop the top hat off the top and there is a rubber insert you can replace that sits inside the mount... or, cheap fix... i heard white grease does wonders.
