There's a small shim between the torsion bar and where it mounts on the frame. That shim wears through and causes the creaking noise.

If you are SURE that the rear struts are not the root cause of
your noise:
Sounds like the bushings for the 'Anti-sway bar'
needs to be replaced. Over time they become brittle.
On the other hand,
I had the similar noise, the noise is gone after replacing
the struts.
What I am saying is that EITHER the struts OR the anti-sway
bar bushings are the culprits.
Good Luck !!

Most service advisors won't know, the technician sure will though, if he's good.
