Default annoying creaking from the rear

just as the title says...there is a very annoying loud ceaking everytime my rear wheels become uneven with eachother.

it sounds like a creaky door opening mut the sound is 10x louder


anyone have any clue what this could be and how i can stop the noise?

thanks

His Grand has rear coils.
It could be the rear shocks are old and making that noise, or the bushings are worn in the control arms, or the rear trac-bar.

Bad/dry rotted bushings?
