Default Creaking noise in rear

Anyone else having this problem? It's coming from the interior near or in the sway bar I think.

Mine started a month or two back. Not sure what it is, but seems to be coming from the left hand side (driver's side). Has the source of this noise been tracked down? Anyone?

I have a click or pop from the rear usually when the chassis is subjected to a twisting force. I think I have it isolated to rear roof cross member joint, possibly at bolts, four on each side. Next time I have the headliner off, I plan to try locktight on the bolts.

I had creaking in the right rear. I took it in at the same time as my tranny. Turned out to be something wrong with the bolts in the axle which is also getting replaced under warranty.

Here is added twist. I have the problem. I only hear it when running wider-than-stock wheels/tires. It disappeared when I replaced wider wheels/tires with OEM wheels/tires. The noise returned when I put the the wide wheels/tires back on.

Just so you know, my entire rear assembly has come loose. You can move the entire thing by grabbing the wheel and pushing it back and forth. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to have them check it out. I believe it to be a bad IRS bushing or bolt that is now missing. It's really bad under heavy acceration...
