2015 Toyota Camry Front Driver Side Creaking Noise Over Bumps

Hi Scotty, I am the owner of a 2015 Toyota Camry with 80.5K miles on it.  After several visits to the local Toyota dealership for repair and multiple repairs on suspension components my car still makes a creaking noise from the front driver side of the vehicle.  The dealership replaced both front struts, both lower ball joints, both sway bar links and both sway bar bushings.  A regional Toyota representative even looked at my vehicle and could not determine the issue. The dealership performs a fix and then a few days or just shy of a week later the noise returns.  My next regularly scheduled service appointment isn't for another 4.5K miles but I'm considering taking the car to a different Toyota dealership.  I don't think it is unreasonable for my car to sound better after having work done than before. Thankfully I have a platinum warranty and all of these repairs have cost me nothing out of pocket and only consume my time and having to deal with weird looks from the service advisors.

Do you have any ideas what the issue could be? l could continue to take it back to my current dealership but my trust in their skills and abilities is at an all time low.

Creaking is often a dry ball joint or bushings.  Pretty much anything with rubber and a bolt going through it.

When does it creak?  Over speed bumps?  While turning?  While braking?
