The following image is for the front suspension. Here's what I think they changed based on the descriptions, and I'll add the relevant part numbers as well:
1. 'Front Arms' - This has to be #10 in the attached image. Part numbers are 4H0407505E [or F] (left) and 4H0407506E [or F] (right).
2. 'Bottom Front Arms' - This has to be #1 in the attached image. Part numbers are 4H0407151C (left) and 4H0407152C (right).
That only leaves #7 and #11 to replace, but throwing parts at it is no guarantee that will resolve the issue. Plus, you've already spent around £800 in the above parts, and numbers #7 & #11 will cost another £1,100. As for what they actually replaced, turn the steering full lock and have a look at the suspension. The new parts should be spotless.
Just about to post this, and came across a thread on another forum about the exact same scenario, creaking when going over speed bumps. Apparently, their issue was caused by the ARB links, #30 in the image. Although they had the official Audi stamp, they were made in China. The part number is 4M0411317J [or L], fits both sides and are around £75 each.
