Creaking noise at low speeds
Just started to notice a creaking sound coming from the passenger side rear. I can only hear it with the radio off and usually going very slowly and the car shifts weight a bit side to side. It's definitely suspension but I don't think it's the shock mounts as these are not common. Maybe a link or rear lower arm. I already think the roads up here in NJ are taking a toll on my poor suspension. Any other ideas?

To answer a few questions.
The front and rear sway bar bushing are smart to do over 100k miles. I upgraded my UL with the Lexus sports rear bar and bushes and it makes a notable difference. Even though they do not look degraded or bad they are soft and worn out. Same story for the fronts but I just used stock bushes. New bushes make a difference as mentioned.
My leather creaks a bit too but this is not what I am hearing. I am hearing a new sound it's definitely passenger side but hard to tell if it is front or rear. I can only hear it with radio off and during slow maneuvers when the cars weight is shifting. My front lower arm buses have been replaced already. Don't think this is them.
