Default Creaking rear suspension?

I searched but couldn't find anything related to my issue. I've got a 2005 Acura EL which, for those who don't know, is mechanically identical to a 4 door EX.

Since the weather has been warming up my car has developped a strange creaking from the rear passenger side of the car. Where it gets strange is that it doesn't occur over harsh bumps, but rather slow/steady compression. If I gradually push down on it, it'll creak. When I accelerate it creaks. Over small dips in the road it creaks. I'm not very familiar with this car yet, but from what I can tell nothing is amiss back there. No worn bushings, etc, as far as I can tell.

Anyone have a problem similar to this?

Thanks man.

Were you able to replace just the bushing or did you need to replace the entire arm?
