I fixed my front suspension noise and now its time to work on this noise. It has been going on for about a month now. When turning right into some drive ways or streets i get a loud "Oil Boat Creaking" sound from the bottom right of the car somewhere. I thought at first it was just because someone heavy was in the passenger seat but now it is happening without any passengers even when going slow. I havent had chance to jack up the rear yet but i thought myabe somone on here had the same problem at one point :). Thanks in advance.

Sounds like old or dried out rubber bushings/mounts. I know my rear uppers used to do this. Oil them bitches.

Pop the hood, turn the wheel all the way to one side. Remove the rear deck or just pull up a corner.
