Creaking noise when cold

My '14 FS W12 creaks when it is cold outside. I think it is coming from the passenger front side. I replaced my two front struts back in October and this noise was there before doing this too. Noise goes away after some time of driving. -car has 47600 miles.

*UPDATE 1/22/2024* The car is now making creaking noises when I am turning the steering fully. It also makes a noise when I center the steering back too fast.

Could that 'creaking' be a squeal from the power steering?
BTW, I creak too when I'm cold.

It can’t be power steering. I get the creaking noise when I go into road humps or something like that. It sounds like rubber and metal contact or something. It could be the rubber getting dried up because of the cold. The noise is significantly less when the car has been driven a couple miles. I guess it’s normal with these cars with air suspension lol. 😂 My 2020 Bentayga with 7k miles and 2023 X7 M60 with 15k miles both creak a bit too when it’s cold. Just find it annoying.
