Hello,

There's a loud creaking noise emitting from the rear passenger-side wheel area on my 1999 Accord LX. Any ideas on what may be causing this or how I should troubleshoot it?

Thanks

Noise when you bounce the car up & down while it's not moving:
- check suspension bushings, balljoints, anti-roll bar bushings...

Only when you apply the brakes:
- screetch-tab warning on the brake pads

Only when moving, regardless of suspension flexing:
- wheel bearing, dragging brakes...

i also have a 99 lx with the creaking issues described above.

i'll be putting on new springs/shocks soon, so i'll check over everything then.
