Seems when it's cold, I've got a creaking sound coming from the rear suspension, right side best I can tell. This is the 3rd winter I've had the car, and never had the problem B4. I've lubed everything, and the suspension is stock back there...thoughts? I was thinking spring maybe, but I had a '92 for 9 yrs, and it never did this. I'd be a shame if I had to get SLP's Bilstein suspension package to fix the problem . Thanks for any thoughts.

 

I have the same exact problem. My rear suspension creaks in the cold too. I've only had my '99 for 2 months now, but I noticed it the first time it got cold.

My rear shocks have been replaced under the factory warrenty. I don't know what brand though.

 

Might just be the rear sway bar bushings ... they have been know to creak now and then.

Energy suspensions has a very thick grease with which you can lube the bushings. It works.

Hope this helps

Remember rubber becomes hard in the cold... Mine does it to, and I have replaced everything, even the isulators... I just learned to live with it...

 

Funny (maybe not) you mentioned that creaking thing. Just took my car out today and if there is one thing I can't stand it is a car that makes noise when driving. Rear susp as well and maybe some interior plastic.
BTW my is an '02, so no cars are immune to the cold I guess.
