Default Rear suspension area groan when moving/stopping

Car has 225000km with original suspension components
The noise is coming from rear left side and that was the one where we had the wheel bearing replaced.
The trailing arm/struct rod was removed from in order to take the hub carrier out to knock old bearing and press in the new one.

It's a groaning noise that happens mostly from weight distribution shifts when first moving and when coming to a stop.
Which component in the suspension can contribute to that so I can check myself first?

i'd start with the trailing arm bolts, snug them up as needed...however, 225000km on original suspension is alot. I replaced my suspension approximately at that equivalent mileage due to groaning and clunking.
