If you now have a creaking spring , make sure it is sat correctly in its seats & that the strut top mounting is not damaged or beginning to seize up . See this issue daily when MOT testing .
Dirt tends to get into the bearing when the mount is removed to replace spring without you realizing , fallen for that little gem ! . I have taken to changing mounts along with springs to eliminate this issue

It's been said...
- Always change springs in axle pairs - The creaking won't be the spring, it will be something to do with reassembling the strut after it's been disturbed. Take it back....
