Give your radius arm bolts a little nip up and see if that solves it.

Thinking about it today, I fitted a front diff guard a few months back, the type that bolts one side to the radius arm mount. If its not tight enough the noise would probly be amplified by the big lump of steel clamped to the diff.

Thats a good call actually...
Mine makes similar creaky noises sometimes (but it makes so many other noises its hard to tell!) I have a JB diff guard also, and creaking started after that i think. Doesnt happen unless REALLY offroading tho. My radius arms are KAP with superpro bushes, so should be good. bolts are not mega tight as most use locknuts so i wanted them to be flexible a wee bit.

You were spot on. drivers side rear bolt of the two was not loose but I was able to get a complete turn on it.
Did it lunchtime and it was all quiet on the way home. Fingers crossed its as simple as that. Thanks for the idea.
