i know that there arent many posts on here about Crowns but yeah... i have a 1971 MS55 sedan and the rear suspension makes strange creaking noises... they only happen if im turning and coming out of say a petrol station at lowish speed... but when there are passengers in the back its constant... low speed cornering and turning etc... any help on what it is and how to fix it will be much appreciated....

Probably bushes, probably worn. That said, it is impossible to make a diagnosis via internet.
Jack car up by chassis with axle stands. Move suspension through its range of motion with trolley jack. See if you can replicate the noise and identify its location. If loose, tighten and if worn, repair.
If you are unable or lack the confidence to do this, take your car to a competent mechanic.
