When your parked try pushing down on your trunk see if you hear the same sound. Chances are you need new struts. If you know a shop that checks cars for free, have them hoist it up and you'll be able to tell.
When that happened to me I checked it out, had a broken spring =o

The first thing I would try is spraying some WD40 on the sway bar bushings. I did that on mine and it quieted right down.

Dont use WD40, when it dries it will dry out the bushing, if nething use penatrating oil.
where is the creaking coming from ?...G.my car creaks over bumps when I hit em....I think it may be the struts...has anyone had anything similar...if so what did you do to get rid of that damn noise?

I had the same problem as well. Ended up being my springs. You got a jack ? Lift the car off the air to see.
