Just as it says - the car creaks whenever I pull out of a driveway or come to a stop. I think it creaked a little before, but i had a little wheel ramp accident where I went completely over the ramps and the car fell on the ramp, which was higher than the ground clearance of the car. I may have bent something in the rear suspension a little but i thought it was ok... Is that what's causing the creaking?

You have to be more precise about the noise because these cars are old and squeak and creak like no tommorrow. My car made lots of noises when I got it. Some of it was due to the old worn out suspension and bushings. Some was due to parts and brackets being loose or missing bolts on body panels or interior panels. I've managed to replace a lot of missing bolts and tighten a lot of loose parts so I have cut down on the extra noises but there's still lots to do, lots to check. But if you did run over the ramps then it's probable that you may have damaged something so you should get under there and do a visual inspection.
