Front end creaking

Need some help diagnosing a front end sound. Creaking noise happens going over a driveway dip or speed bump at slow speed. Also makes the noise on sudden braking. Car was bouncy as well and diving a bit when braking so I changed the front struts. Springs and top mounts looked good upon inspection while I was changing the struts. Car handles much better now but I haven't gotten rid of my noise. Any ideas what else I should look at?

check your sway bar bushings and endlinks.
OK I'll try changing them. I noticed some minor wear evidenced by just a tiny bit of gapping around the bar, but didn't think that would make such a noticeable noise.
