I hear a loud creaking noise when I go in reverse sometimes. I have a 03 s2k and the sound happens at anytime from the time the clutch starts engaging, to the time where i move the shifter out of reverse. Once I move the shifter out of reverse though the sound stops immediately. It doesnt happen always, and happens in cold or hot weather. It seems to happen more when my car is at an decline and the car rolls forward a little before i reverse fast enough. The sound comes from the rear passenger side. It sounds like a loud long creak. I have changed the diff fluid and it still does it. Any ideas? I have read the post on axle nuts not being torqued correctly but that only produces a clicking sound, this is more like the titanic creaking when its about to sink sound hahha.

I also have a creaking kind of sound when braking to a stop. It starts appearing at low speeds and it sounds pretty bad now. The sound sounds like it comes from the front drivers side wheel and under my pedals.

could I just need to grease some things? because it did just rain for a good time now.
I am also on stock suspension.

 

bump? the braking is actually anytime i brake only if i press on the brakes past a point such as the force to finally stop. its more of a click noise.

 

BUMP

 

Look at your differential mount, see if it's leaking, or looks torn or worn, this can cause that squeal.

 

did you ever find out what this problem was? I have this and it's really annoying.

 

It was likely slight brake pad drag and groan.

 

The slave cylinder rod can creak if it runs dry, have someone push in the clutch pedal and stick your head under the rocker sill to see where the noise comes from. It can come from the pressure plate or slave cylinder, it could also be dry splines around the throwout bearing sliding surfaces.
