Creaking from wheel/suspension area when pushing the rear down

Hi all,

 

Can anyone give me an idea where to start looking with the issue in the title?

 

Done a little research and some people seem to say it could be a bushing somewhere, but not sure where to look or how to tell if the bushing is failing or not.

 

Also get a knocking from the left rear wheel when i shake the car by pushing on the wheel, which i thought might be a wheel bearing but maybe tied the the creaking instead?? And there is no play in the wheel when it's jacked up off the floor. :surrender:

 

Any direction would be really appreciated

Easy fix for the creaking suspension. Get the end links checked. Pretty common that these need changing after a certain amount of time/mileage! Just had mine checked and Sly @ Kaizer Motor found that 3/4 were shot. Changed them all and no more creaking!

 

As for the knocking, I'm not sure unfortunately! :(

Thanks both, do you happen to know if either of these could cause the alignment to slowly go out of line? Alignment place I take it to said it could be a bushing or something moving as it happened over a week or so
