Ominous creak during turns

Recently I have had a pretty intense creak come from the rear of the FJ when turning at lower speeds. I don't know if this has any relation to the problem, but I have had some people slam my passenger door closed without closing the back door first. It makes me cringe. I'm hoping they didnt bang anything out of whack. Anyone else had this problem?

Re: Ominous creak during turns

My LCA bracket creaks because I bent the hell out of it on a rock.

Is there a chance this could be it?

No. It's not that, I had the same problem...it's your rear seats. Try this, wrap some electrical tape around the latches, seat them back, then do some hard turns, you won't hear it anymore! When mind creaked it made me feel as if my car was cheap as hell...not anymore :-P
