Wierd creaking noise..

This noise just started happening about 2 weeks ago. The best I can describe it as is a creaking noise thats coming from the right side of the car (sounds almost interior maybe but not sure). I jacked the car up, checked suspension to see if anything loose, checked the underbody to see if anything was out of the ordinary which it wasn't. It mainly only occurs when entering driveways at an angle or the likes. It sounds similar to a friends chassais flex in his beater Integra but not quite. (Out of warranty so stealership is last option). What gives?

TIA.

im curious to find out what it is, just in case it happens to me. we had a squeak in one of our other cars last summer that i could not find out what it was. same thing, when you go into driveways and such at an angle. but it seemed like if i greased something it only got worse. then it all of a sudden went away lol

Which one do you suspect? I'll jack it up again and see if I can locate a bad one.

I have the same noise and it sounds like its in the cabin too, but it doesn't happen everytime. I only notice it 2-3 times a week. I haven't cheched anything yet though. I thought it was just the seats rubbing when I hit the harsh bump of the driveway, or the baby seat I just put in a few months ago. Let me know if you find anything.
