Creaking
I think this may have been asked before but if so, here we go again.
The car is my wife's daily driver and I don't get in it often but was with her tonight. When we turned right out of a parking lot, the rear of the car creaked. It only did it once and she tells me that it happens once in a while. Keep in mind that the car is not driven hard at all (when she is in it) and when I am driving it I just tend to get it up to speed a little quicker. When pushing down on the rear, there is no sound at all.
Sounds to me like it may be a suspension issue. Any thoughts?

Got the same problem on the front of my son's Camaro
I'd bet on the sway bar bushings. A lube should fix it.
Must fix the Camaro some time.

My '94 Z28 had a similar problem......I just would spray a bit of wd-40 where I thought it was coming from. Went away. Every 4-6 months it would come back, so I do the same.....also, it seems colder weather brings out creaks......
