My 96 Civic DX Coupe has developed a "creak-creak-creak" sound when I
brake hard (from the rear) and from the front (when I turn briskly). My
question is....what is most likely making the sound...suspension mounts
in need of lube or a suspension component in need of replacement?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

My wrench said the drive axles have to be replaced. He can rebuild them
for $165 each.

Any thoughts?

The $165 included installation. I checked around here in NYC. Thats not
a bad price around here.
