Default Noise in rear, suspension?

When i go over bumps or pull into my driveway i hear a noise coming from my rear suspension. It sounds like the noise of a wood floor creeking. Is that my shocks going bad or something else. It rides nice and no other noises are present. The only suspension mods to date are sfc's and stb, and the car has close to 70k. Thanks guys.

Mine was doing that and it turned out to be dry rear sway bar end link bushings. I sprayed some jiz on there and it the noise went away.

I have the same noise on mine it started after the SFC. I got the SLP bolt ins and welded them in. I can only assume that it is the lower control arm making the noise.

Its been raining all day so i haven't gone under the car and spayed the sway bar bushings, lca bushings, etc.. When i do, i will let you guys know if it solved the noise.

Rattle from pass. wheelwell: Have you checked your spare tire/jack to see if they are loose?
