The creaking could be the body bushings for the sway bar. They dry out over time. Every time the suspension compresses or extends, the sway bar rotates in the bushings. Because the bushings are bolted directly to the body, any noise they make is quite effectively transferred into the car. If the creaking ceases on a rainy day, try replacing these bushings. They are inexpensive and very easy to replace.
No clue on the thud.
