I have been hearing a noise in the suspension when going over bumps. It sounds like a creeking noise(its hard to explain) just wondering if my shocks are bad or if anyone has anyideas.

When was the last time you had your LCAs greased?
Also do you have any aftermarked suspension? I'd bet on LCAs till you tell a bit more about what is on there and more about the conditions under which it makes the noise.

I only hear it on the passenger rear side usually going slow speeds over speed bumps or say man hole covers when the ground is sort of caved in around them or slight bumps in parking lots thats usualy when I notice it the most.

I have a horrible creaking noise on the front passenger side suspension area. It only happens during the summer months. It will begin after i've been driving the car for a while and every bump and dip that i hit it creaks.
