Creaking/popping in freezing weather - PLEASE HELP

The car has been to the dealer FIVE times for this or a seemingly related problem, and I need your help.
When the weather is below freezing and the car has been sitting over night, driving results in loud creaking/popping from the front end. It happens over almost any bump in the road, and even some major cracks. After the car warms up (10-15 mins), it stops and doesn't happen again until the car has completely cooled (overnight).
One dealer said the car is operating as designed, the other couldn't replicate, and the last replaced...
Swaybar links, front suspension link, lock nut, washer front suspension, rubber block, nut.... according to the invoice. This didn't help at all.
What else could this be?
Thanks!
