Hey guys, I have an odd question. I was driving around campus, and I was taking a right curve that slopes down moderately. I heard this weird creaking noise in what seemed to be the back right-rear corner of my car. I wasn't speeding, just going about 15 mph. I have no idea what could be making it. I have nothing loose to do it, so I figure it's either the body or springs/shocks (stock with bout 33k on them). I also took a left turn on a slight uphill slope and it creaked again. Its an odd noise, but it doesnt sound grating or sharp. Any clues to what this could be? It's definitely worrying me.

BTW - 02 2.5RS. No suspension mods yet (although I'm buying springs soon, hence my additional worry.)

I have that creeking noise too. Hear it in the same spot too. I ripped out my whole back seat checked for anything loose and everything was fine. Drove around my blocks with the rear seats out didnt hear creeking. Put them back in and now I here it again. I think that it is the way the rear seats clip in. It is metal on metal so I think that is where it is coming from. I had the niose when the car was stock, put on prodrive springs and still have it. Very weird. For some reason I think it could be the rear struts too. I just cant put my finger on it. Did you do anything about it? let me know what you came up with. Thanks John.
:mad: Bothers the hell out of me sometimes.
