Default what could be dry

hey, just a quick one, i am having a slight issue with my left suspension front and rear, its creaking over all road surfaces, sounds like a dog toy over speed bumps, cant figure out what it is, my dad said drop links but they dont seem worn and when they went on my pug they made a loud knocking noise?

anybody else had this?

Thanks

It could be the rubber top mounts, I get this every so often mainly from my front passenger strut and a little more so recently due to the colder weather i think, No knocks or bangs just an anoying squeak for a bit until everything get a bit of heat in it
