Default Name this tune.

Can you help with this?

I hear a creaking noise under the rear of the car when the car squats. It’s loudest when I get down in front of the back tire, either side, and have someone pull forward... not taking off hard, just enough to make it dip down. The best example I can give is: It sounds like flexing a big piece of cracked 14–16 gauge steel making the crack rub together causing a creak.

I can't figure out what the h*ll it is.

Do you have poly bushings out back? Have they been lubed recently?

Yes, my first thought would be poly bushings as well. Also, make sure all your axle attachments are tightened to spec - LCA bolts, PHR bolts, swaybar mounts, etc.

I know my car has all these, LCA, PHR, and swaybar, but I've never had to put a name to each part of the suspension.

LCA- in front of the axle, right and left side, running ront to back?
swaybar- behind the axle, runing from one side to the other?PHR- ?

What bolts to the rear end housing and runs forward parallel to the driveshaft?

What is behind the sway bar, up higher in the car, running side to side in a V shape?
