Creaking in the rear suspension
I have noticed that my rear suspension has been "creaking" whenever I first back out of my drivewayor when I go over speed bumps. When this first started happening, I was on espelir springs and stock shocks. I had initially thought it was either the rubber bump stops or the upper mount so I switched my suspension set up to Apexi coils... and it STILL HAPPENS. Anyone experience the same thing? If you did, please shed some light on how to fix this. Thanks!

I've got the same problem. I've got expelir springs on stock shocks with spc ball joints and the creaking is bugging the hell out of me. I've greased all the joints in the suspension now twice and its still there.
Anyone know how to fix it?

I have the same thing! Espelir springs.. stock shocks.
I keep thinking it's the coil spacers from the factory.. but.. It's aftermarket shocks, and I sure hope the spacers haven't been there for the pat 5 years .
I'm really interested to see where this goes. Input anyone?

Press against your hood. Does it creak?
If so get some real grease, not spray type. Grease the hood latch.
I was squeaking and two trips to the dealer with no solution. Then I just greased the latch, problem solved.
Note, spray lube won't work as good and in my case didn't work at all.
