First post so hopefully I’m in the right thread. Recently after putting on my Lund tune (which I doubt has anything to do with this) I noticed some creaking coming from my driver side suspension? I’m not entirely sure. I only hear the creaking when I’m in reverse, taking off in first, and sometimes in second when the torque is really shaking the car. The creaking is really only apparent when I’m engine breaking or taking off from a stop but not really as I’m driving in anything above 4th gear. The sound is entirely gone when i coast in neutral.

My 23 rear also creaks with a Steeda STH kit on it, only when turning or taking off slowly. I just ignore it. I figure that it's a Ford............

Yep, that's it. There are a lot of things moving back there. I'm pretty sure that the proper repair is to install a louder exhaust. Is your rear suspension stock?

I have eibach lowering springs that’s it. Have had the lowering springs on for over a year maybe a year and a half now

Well I’m here to say after some research I found out what was causing my creaking. Behind my wheel bearing I found this thrust washer completely thrashed. Clicking is now gone. 15$ fix and new axle nut!
