welll this is your lucky day cause i am a Audi technician dont think its springs and shocks craking it the front suspension arms all the alloy ones at the front the ball joints are no good in the alloy housingcausing creaking on turning /over large bumps etc audi used to change them under warranty ive replaced hundreds of them go to your audi dealer and see if there are any recalls listed for your car if so youll get it done for free if not the cheapest bet is to ask to buy the complete recall kit from the parts department cause it works out a hell of a lot cheaper than buying them seprately you get the arms 4x, nuts/bolts because they are all use only once, new anti roll bar links and also i think track rod ends as the alloy ones of these also fail its not an easy do it your self job as it will also need a full wheel alingnment after
hope this helps
