Is it front or rear? Drop links are quite common to creak when worn. Good news is they are fairly cheap and easy to replace (Unless you go uprated then they can cost a bit more)

Hi mate try spray greasing all the bushes first and see if it stops for a short time.

Had something similar on my old 05 STI.
Get someone to grease the joints underneath, that'll probably silence it
