Creaking is usually correced by tightening the sub frame bolts and the bolts where the reaction arm(rear half of control arm) meets the control arm.
Banging while backing and or turning particularly combined with braking is usually a wheel bearing banging in the knuckle. This is remedied by replacing the bearing and greasing the new bearing on installation.
Honking on bumps(particularly if it sounds like an airliner touching down) is caused by air escaping around the shock boots. The solution is to cut a vertical slit in the boot about 1" in length.
