Hello all, I've been having an issue with my nitro for 6-8 months now where it will groan/creak from the rear, mostly when put in park after being driven anywhere. Local trusted shop suggested transmission fluid, and while that was a good thing to do (160,000 miles and never been done before) it did not fix the issue. I am able to recreate the noise if I get underneath and push/pull the rear anti-roll bar with my hand, but I'm not sure if this is the actual cause when I hear it normally.

Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @Matt Van D. When you have a chance, head over to the Newbie Section and say "Hi".
Tell us a little about yourself and your ride.
That way we can welcome you all proper like.

If you are talking about the sway bar, you can remove it temporarily and take it for a short drive. If the sound is gone you know the problem.
Just be careful around corners while its off!
