Creaking/groaning maybe knocking - front near side suspension

[t6blo]

2016 T30 T6 with 15k miles - was running lowering springs for most of that mileage and recently got the lowering springs removed and the standard springs (supplied with the van) refitted.

Used a local VW specialist.

Initially for the first 200 miles it was fine. Now after about 400 miles I am getting what sounds like a rubber groaning creaking noise on the near side only when going over pot holes or speed bumps - seems to be as the suspension is getting longer. In other words not when the suspension is loading up.

I am occasionally hearing it when pulling away hard again as the front end rises and the suspension gets longer.

What parts has he undone/removed/swapped over whilst doing this job?
Any ideas what to look for to see if anything left loose?

I may end up taking it back but with impending lockdown I’ll probably have a nosey myself first.

Thanks

Maybe ABR bushes? Mine was doing it when setting off (in 1st obviously), T32 25mm £30ish from Powerflex

I had this on mine after fitting H&R springs, took about 500 miles after fitting to start the groaning noise. Turned out the springs had rotated in the damper cups. There is a location point where the spring should sit
