Default creaking

alright, i found how to fix my rattles with foam tape and moving the metal piece the trunk latches to now. It got rid of almost all the rattle and knok noise. but now when i take turns or go into deep dip downs slowly like outta p. lots my car makes a creaking noise from the back, whats this and how can it be stopped.

there are many places online where you can order a rear brace none on mind..my front and rear brace was custom made by jim at jbz race cars in tomball whom if you know this guy has built a few cars that have gone to barret-jackson, made corrections to air-ride inc systems, etc. but yeah makes huge difference but still slight creaking...p.s. I also have stiffining bars to further support weak chassis like a slit roll cage but not nearly as extreme
