So my question, I had some creaking coming from my car, sounds like body flex, when I hit bumps. I at first thought it was my suspension so I replaced my shocks and struts, the were shot anyway. While the ride has improved my car still creaks when I get out of it, like I weigh 700 lbs or something, any ideas? Maybe the body is flexing somewhere, and if so, where should I look cause I'll add whatever extra bracing I need.
