When ever I stop (hard and soft) and accelerate I hear this creaking noise (like some one walking around in an old house with squeaky wood boards) coming from my backend, I thought it was coming from the trunk so checked and everything looked securely in place, I dont know it might be coming for the wheel well, would it be my suspension perhaps? I dont hear this noise when I turn, only stopping mostly (I hear it more when I brake harder).

I get the same sound, I have checked everything as well and cant find a thing wrong. Hopefully someone can help us, it drives me crazy. Mine doesn't do it all the time. It almost sounds like something is loose or maybe even the caliper is sticking. I'm unsure.

I'm pretty sure its not the wheels or calipers because when I brake hard, the body of the car lurches forward at a dead stop, is when I hear it.

Yeah sounds like something loose.

Damn man, same shit with my car. I hear the same noise. It wasnt like that with my 02 TLP i had before. This 03TLS have this sound. The sound also comes when i hit bumps and stuff.

I have a 2003 TL-S and I have been hearing the same thing I believe the past couple of weeks. It almost sounds like something banging an aluminum frying pan when I brake. I just installed brand new Rotora Slotted rotors with HAWK pads. It happened before that with my OEM brakes as well.

Loose end links? Seems to be a pretty common problem with the CL/TL.

I have a similar sound when I brake hard...although it sounds more like a higher pitched squeaking sound. To me, it sounds like it's coming from the front end, but I can't tell very well. I thought it was maybe a squeaky spring seat or something...but now it sounds like a more common problem.

I have an 03 TL-S too...I guess it's a gremlin with our year/model?

Wow really?

I thought it was something simple, like the spare wheel. I tightened the sparewheel but it still makes that noise, I have loosened it, I'll see what I hear in the next couple days.

i hear the same thing all the time i thought it was the seat. but i guess you guys are saying that its the suspension?

check your end links. i had the same problem and found one of the end links was broken. i went ahead and replaced both, only $30 to fix.
