I hear creaking sound when I go over humps. But workshop didn't inform absorber leaking. Just wondering when is the right time to change absorber?

I also have creaking sound but no leaks from absorber. Intend to ask my workshop to check the bushings during my next visit.
 
don’t be like me kena con big time.
workshop says front shock aborbers, I changed all 4 original.
and it got even louder (sounds like metal to metal screeching and really loud).
they said no leh when they test drive.
i said, you let me drive it and I’ll show you.

I approached a hump, brake slightly just before it and let it roll over.
then they tried the same style, heard it every time they did it.
they said confirmed it’s arm bushing. need heavy machinery to replace it.
i supposed that means another thousand-dollar repair.

I doubt it and drove a few more weeks and its gone for the last 2 months.
i didn’t do anything to it.

the front right lower arm rubber is torn a bit. that all I know now.
