Default Which suspension/mounts are most likely to creak/groan?

It doesn't do it all the time, but I get a creaking/groaning from something passenger seats forward at times.

If I bounce on the car I can sometimes make it happen.

Any initial directions to look in?

Sound is coming from the middle of the car (transmission mount?) forward.

Does that mean shock mounts are cracked?

no...just the rubber bushings squeeking.

could be the tranny mount.....BUT i would bet its coming from the back of the car. your so close to it that prolly sounds like its in the middle. squeeks are hard to pinpoint really.
