Hey guys quick question. I'm trying to hunt down a noise when i put it in drive or reverse there is a loud creaking noise coming from the rear, only when i do that, when i drive i hear nothing, when i jump up and down on the bumper nothing. Its like when it loads the suspension to move the truck its there. I was thinking maybe something leaf spring related but i wanted to get other opinions or maybe get lucky and find someone who has had this same issue.

Were you able to track down the mysterious noise?

I'm wondering if it's a possible U-joint issue...

Maybe even an issue with the sway-bar bushings?

Ya I thought it was in my brakes at first and then I did front and rear powerstop z23 kits and I didn't notice it when I first drove it, then it came back and I discovered it is in my leaf spring. The front pad was bad, I also had a rock fall out of the spring from somewhere.
