Default Really loud creeking sound from suspension.....need help!

I noticed a couple days ago, that my GS300 started making some really loud creeking sound when going over bumps/turnring/stopping. Its extremely loud and autidble, sounds like its coming from the rear. I'm on l-tuned springs and shocks, and have only had them for mayb 10k miles. Anyone have any idea wat it could be??

thx

do you have exhaust? could it be hitting the body?

if not, maybe you should see if a shock is leaking

i used to get that from time to time when i had this set up . i used to jack up the rear end crawl underneath and spray some pure silcone into the spring area from top to bottom making sure i get the the bottom perch and top mount area and sounds would go away for months at a time.. i did not use wd40 for it will was away with water but silcone will adhere to the surfaces
