Such the paradox as the car is what had my rear end moaning lol, a literal pain in my a$$ lol.


Edit :

With the bearings,correct rear diff. oil,me removing the failing plastic defrost vent/grills & the new addition of the Pilot Sport A/S 3+, this car is finally as quiet as it should be inside the cabin lol.

The tech that serviced the rear said he dressed it in lube & anti-seize corrosion formula. But 18 years on a car that's seen the borderline tropical meets temperate climate of the south here, it's fair to say the springs did their duty. Hindsight is 20/20 & I should have replaced them when I had all the shocks & rubbers done. I haven't been able to find any new OEM or aftermarket springs, except those which lower. If I go the used spring route I run the risk of encountering more creaks, so I may bite the bullet & lower it.
Belated Update :
My creak ended up being the taper roller bearing #15 driver side rear.
