weird creeking coming from back left wheel

[sean]

i was driving my car around and out of the blue it started making a creeking sound coming from the back left wheel when i turn hard right or accelerate turning right no sure what it is i think it might be the shock but not sure please help me determine what is going on because i dont want to waste money on new shocks if that doesnt fix it

Bounce the rear end up and down and see if you can replicate the noise.
If you can, get a friend to do it while you get under the car and locate the source.

iv tryed that but i can push it down because there are performance shocks

Is there a difference in the creaking if it has been raining, or when it’s dry.
I’m thinking suspension bushes. they sometimes quieten down if they are wet as the water acts as a lubricant if they’re worn

Car make, model, year? Sometimes helps jog the memory of vehicles we have worked on that we may have seen or been told of a similiar problem.
