It may be your springs. The rubber boot that goes between the shock and spring may need to be replaced. I stress maybe because I cannot be sure without actually hear it. My RX7 did this for awhile until I replaced the bump stops which are integral with the dust boot on the RX7. You can also grease the control arms.
If you bought your car used and it's at stock height, the previous owner may have lowered the car and then not reinstalled the stock springs correctly. If you are lowered, check the install. If the suspension has always been stock and never changed, get your dealer to take a look because the mounts should not be blown after 26K Km.

Thanks for all the great info, supposedly it was never modified, but who knows right? Well the greatest info i was tyring to check was to see if to go to the dealer or not cause they charge you servicing fee no matter what, i guess i'm going to have to go that route so they can check for sure, hopefully it's under warranty

^ from the dealer. Some have suggested the '05's are beefier than earlier models. I have Stillens also but to date have no creaking.
Just noticed you have the urethane bushings. Not sure if they need to be greased or not. That may be the issue, but perhaps someone that has experience with them can provide more insight.

THIS WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM.
Just in case other search and find this thread, they replaced the rear sway bar bushings on warranty and the car is awesome now!
