Creaking from rear

Got a creaking in the rear especially on an incline when getting in and out of the car sometimes. Running on stock shocks and Eibach springs. Kinda wonder if it's the bushings in the rear, maybe the sway bar, that needs to be replaced. Any thoughts? Is there anything to lube back there?

My car does that & I got in someone else's GTI the other day and it did the same thing.

I dont think its too big of a problem if it even is one.

The car has 62k miles on it but the OEM shocks were put back in after I blew the Konig FSD's...OEM shocks total 15k maybe. The creaking was there before i put the OEM shocks back in. I am kind of thinking that it's a bushing, maybe the control arm bushing making the noise.
