Hi there. There could be a couple of things going on in this scenario. The motor mounts may have loosened and need to be re-torqued. There could also be worn suspension parts that are now creaking under the torqued of the engine as the new motor mounts do not give like the worn ones did. I suggest having a qualified technician perform an inspection to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with creaking noise inspection.
