Re: Is it normal for Canon Rebels (T5i) to have creeky hand grips? Do you have one?

I experienced a very similar issue with my T4i (practically the same as the T5i).  The first T4i body I had did not squeak, but it was affected by the rubber grip recall, so I swapped it at Best Buy as soon as they received a new batch.  That second T4i made a very audible and annoying creaking sound when I held the top half of the grip, between the IR sensor and the lip underneath the shutter button.  It bothered me enough to exchange it for a third T4i, which fortunately has been perfect for over a year now.
