Weird Noise Back Left Tire
I have intrax lowering springs but I really dont think thats the problem ..
when I start slowing down, maybe doing 10 kms an hour right up to when i stop from my left rear wheel I hear a creaking noise .. like a bed with bad springs .. and it slows down with the spead of the car .. It's a real bad creaking noise.
I took off the tire, lubbed up all the contact points in my brakes, calipars etc. It stopped but now it's back and worse than ever .. what could it possibly be?

a number of things could be your problem,Ranging from bad Shock mounts,Bad shock bushing,improper spring installation,Loose shock,Spring rubbingMaybe even Bad Differnetial bushings or any of the other Rubber parts back there.You said that it sounds like a creak?..then it shouldn't be the brakes.the brakes would Rub,Grind or even squeal.The car would not want to steer straight either,since the brakes would be creating Friction and making the car want to pull to that side.
