Thanks but as I said they've been "recently" (9k miles ago) replaced and I could replicate the noise and even eliminate it by turning the strut shaft a bit. My problem is that I was able to turn the shaft in the mount.

Btw all google searches for creaking noise from front left bring up exactly your problem that's why it took me so long to identify the source of my creak. Interestingly others with worn out strut mounts experience knocking and clunking noises, not creaks. But things have always worked differently for me than for everybody else and the strangest faults come out for me all the time. Things that nobody else ever had. Not just with my cars. I've had enough time to get used to that.
