Well a big thanks to everyone for all of their advice to me.(Still a noobie) I notice that I am hearing a creaking noise coming from the rear of the car when I take off or down shift. Any ideas of what this could be? It almost sounds like a sway bar type of creak. Any insight is good insight for me thanks again.

 

any aftermarket suspension installed?
shock, spring or swaybar? If so then there is your culprit.
If everything is stock, the sound that you are describing tells me it is coming from your shock.

Could be normal wear and tear.
