I had my 1986 coupe at the dealer and had some work done ,it needed a ECM and a new prom and a MAF sensor "ouch" while the car was there i asked them to check a noise im getting from the right front.The noise happens when coming out or into the driveway or turning slow,a creak sound.The dealer checked the ball joints and said they were good,and told me the noise was body flex, the sway bar bushings look good does anybody have an idea.
 
Lots of things creak when they get old - me for one!

Try lubricating the weather stripping with the appropriate silicon lube, even the stuff under the roof and see if that helps. My old 92 gets to creaking sometimes but most of it seems to go away after I lube the rubber. Maybe I ought to replace it some day - nay!
 
Its probably the bushings somewhere. They all make some type of creaking noise.
