Default Creaking noise?

I have noticed lately when I am going from a stop and let the clutch out, I hear what sounds like a creaking coming from under the car by the rear wheels. Any ideas what that might be? Doesn't seem to be effecting anything, but just wondering if it is something I should be concerned about?

My ujoints made a bit of a noise before they went bad...... maybe just a body pad but I would take a look.

It does sound like body creak rather than metal.

Look at your rear spring bushings. I put new gears in my car and the bushings were looking pretty bad so I changed them while I had it all apart. Mine had a squeak too until I did that. Cheap and easy fix.
