Default Creaking and Grinding Noise

I've noticed recently before I come to a stop or during a turn that I hear a creaking and grinding noise from the rear and sometimes the front end. It's a intermittent problem. Any ideas to the cause would be appreciated.

Brakes? I've got a major creak, which I'm reasonably sure is due to worn out inserts in the leaf springs. Replacing those soon.

No, the brakes were checked and serviced in the fall.

Could be worn bushings if the brakes checked out fine. The rubber gets hard and brittle and doesn't isolate the moving parts well anymore.

I can't believe it, the rear rotors were warped. Had the rotors turned and so far it appears to have fixed the problem.
