I am hoping that someone can assist me in trying to fix a noise coming out of the right rear suspension of my 06 coupe. The noise sounds like a creaking or popping noise and seems to occur when the right rear suspension is unloading, like when I apply the brakes or when transitioning in or out of a turn. It does not make the noise when the car goes over a bump, though.
In trying to chase this down, I have replaced the right rear shock, knuckle, lower control arm ball joint, right half-shaft, and wheel bearing. Based on the correlation of the noise with braking, I then thought it might be a brake pad loose and rattling, so I swapped the pads and rotors between the rear wheels -- no change in the noise.
The creaking sound makes me think it may be something spring-related, but does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this noise?
I'd appreciate any ideas you may have.
