Default Creaking noises coming from rear of Macan

2020 GTS has developed weird creaking noises coming from the rear of the car somewhere. Originally I thought it was the suspension and took the car into the dealer. They replaced the "bump stops", but this did not resolve the problem and the noises continue.

I'm now wondering if it's really the suspension and not something else?

Anyone else experience similar noises? The problem is most noticeable during low speed maneuvers (say, doing turns around a parking lot at <10mph). Once I'm out driving, the noises are mostly (but not completely) gone.

Suspension creaking in modern cars is almost always down to the sway bar and the drop links that connect to it.

You also might want to check if something has maybe come loose in the trunk storage area by the spare tire

The source of the low speed creaking noise in our '22 S was the rear subframe. And for our dealer (Austin), it was a known issue they've seen before. Replacing the subframe bolts at the proper torque eliminated the creaking.
