What are the symptoms when these are gone? I have an annoying 'creaking' type sound when I pull away, going over bumpy roads & up/down speed bumps.

I would jack the car up and have a look see if they are ripped out if not spray some lube on them and give it a drive if it's gone then you know what it is

One thing ive noticed is steering itself its much better i used to have to help it coming off full lock now it comes off by itself even tho the power steering fluid needs changing its lighter then before i plan to do the track rod ends soon give it some steering response back lol oh slight issue if u decide to use non-genuine parts is the ball joint needed to have 1mm shaved of the ball inorder to fit on and once the car was back the geometry was so pissed traction control kept kicking nothing laser aligment couldnt sort out. But its much better to drive than before
