Default C6 Z06 creeks when going up angled roads

Is this normal? For instance when I come to work I have to go at an angle due to the angle of the driveway and how steep it is. Well when I go up it I can hear the inside creek. As if its bending. Is this normal since the Z06 is an all aluminum frame? I can hear it in the interior panels and such.

had a similar noise under similar situation. my cure was to manually force the grease in the upper rear ball joints back down into the joint itself. believe we separated the ball joint, noticed it seemed a bit "dry" when moving it by hand. just squeeze/work some of the grease out of the top of the rubber boot down into the joint itself. this took care of my noise, like yours, when the car was moving up at an angle.
