Creaking noise
 

Over the last couple of months I have noticed a creaking noise coming from the rear suspension on my 99 4 Dr LX, 124000 miles. It has gotton worse. It happens over good smooth roads, so the suspension is not working too hard. I havenarrowed itto the sway bar. anyone else experience anything similiar. Ihave taken both brackets and rubber bushing off and greased them, no help.

RE: Creaking noise
 

are you sure it's the sway bar and not the upper shock bushings?
Did you grease inside and outside of the sway bar bushings?
Can you re-create the noise by jacking up the car and moving the tire by hand?

another thing that it might be (not normally but...) is your hangars for your exhaust, a lot of exahust systems have rubber hangars and as it shifts a little bit those rub as well.
