Front End Creaking

I'm experiencing creaking in the front end when going over speed bumps or low dips in the road, even entering my driveway (not over potholes or tracks or small bumps). It's worse when turning.
I had it in to the garage to replace a front right bearing and it came back with chips and dings out of the rotor...had a good vibration while braking. Rather than deal with the garage again I replaced both front rotors and brake pads myself. The front left rotor I had to torch and bang off with a sledge so I know now why the garage had a problem with the right rotor.
Now I have it all back together and there is a noticeable creak in the front. What could it be and was it related to having to use so much force to get off the seized rotors.?
 
Sway bar bushings. Normal. Just lube them unless you have over 30K or so. Not a big deal. Just part of the 5.
