Default Loud creaking! Help please!

So I recently bought a 1996 honda accord with a manual transmission. After driving for about an hour and a half the car makes a loud creaking noise when u take your foot off the gas. The noise can be duplicated by reversing fast, or turning right in a lower gear but not accelerating. I first thought it was the wheel bearing which I was told was bad, but replaced it and it is still making the noise. It's very loud and sounds horrible. The cv boots are all in good shape. Any ideas.

You are going to have to pull the tire and start prying around to find the noise. Look for rust around parts that move, like the ball joints.

Here is a good video on finding strange noises:

These creaking sounds going up forward and reverse tend to be ball joints. I would first look at the upper and then the lower.
