Creaking suspension cause?

Hey guys, I got a 2016 X1 with about 40k miles.

About 3 months ago, my car was loaded with a heavy load and went over a speed bump a little too fast. It didnt scrap anything, but the suspension gave a clear and loud groaning. (I think it is the suspension)

Since then, everytime I go over a bump or ditch, there is the sound which sounds like an old spring groaning when compressed or released. But aside from the sound, I am not sure if I feel any discernable change in suspension. Well, X1 does have a harsh ride (for an SUV) to begin with. I suspect that there is damage to the suspension? Anyone else encountered this?

(I also encountered a one-off incident a few days ago that I will write another thread for, so do not be surprised to see my name again)
