Noises from the back

Does anyone know what would cause a "creeking noise" from the rear suspension whenever I engage in foward or reverse, parellel park, etc. at slow speeds? I had the rear busings lubricate but it did not help. Does this happen to the air suspension/airbags or would it be the body mounts?

I have a '02 X5 with 115k mi.

Thank You,

X5Guy70

"creeking noise" from the rear suspension= control arms (most of the time).

i hear it a little too... it could be a sign of the resr subframe bushing dying... it is not a cheap job, well the parts are cheap but you need to drop the whole rear subframe.

Check your battery bracket and tighten the screw that holds the battery, this may help.

The noises I hear from the back are like some odd eeking squeaking and it tends to happen only after i accelerate and sometimes when I brake and then go right into accelerating again. anyone have any ideas what it could be?
