Default Classic wrx rear end creaking/knocking

Hi all. Im new to scoobynet and i have recently bought a 98 wrx. The problem i have is that when i pull away from a standstill there is a creaking/knock from the rear suspension. If any of you have had this issue i would be very grateful if you could give me some advice as to where the common faults lie in the rear.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanx Westie

I would get the car on a ramp and have a look at all the bushes on the track control arms and droplinks (take some pictures to post on here so everyone can have a look).
I recently changed my rear droplinks and TCA bushes (98 Type R) as most of them were knackered the rubber had gone rock hard so replaced them with some Whiteline bushes/droplinks.
