Chassis groan / creaking?

Does anyone else notice any chassis groan/creaking while driving over uneven surfaces at low speed? I can definitely hear something groaning / creaking from the mid to rear portion of the car while driving up or down my driveway (which isn't glass smooth but is a blacktop surface) at 5 MPH.

All I have is the OEM A-Arm brace, but the sound is coming from the rear.

I'm not sure about it coming from the mid/rear of the car but I had a groan/creek coming from the front of mine over bumps. It turned out to be bad front struts. Took two trips to the dealer but they replaced them under warranty.

Yes, I get this while going slowly over the "large" speedbumps. I have the FRPP kit so I thought perhaps it was my bushings squeaking--but the sound persisted after I greased all of the bushings so now I'm back at square 1.

I've got a grunt/groan noise sometimes when coming to a stop, it is supposedly the front lower control arm bushings. There is a TSB on this issue. I plan to get the GT500 arms anyway, they have stronger ball joints and better bushings.
