I replaced my rear shocks, sway bar bushings and links with success except now the rear springs creak when pressure is applied/going over bumps. The most peculiar thing is the creaking only appears on a dry sunny day! I removed both shocks and re-tightened them to no avail. After much time spent underneath trying isolate the noise I am still convinced the creaking is coming from the springs. Too heavy metallic to be the sway bar. The car has 70,000 miles and the shocks and components were originals. Could I have upset the spring pads or spring seating? Absolutely baffling. Car handles nicely though.
