Default New 2015 Lexus IS Owner - Suspension Squeak?

Hi everyone. I recently picked up a new 2015 Lexus IS 250, AWD with the F Sports package. I'm about to hit 3K miles on the car, and love it so far - only issue is I noticed recently that the front suspension seems to make a squeak when going over bumps at lower speeds (i.e. a parking lot, etc).

Curious if anyone has had any issues like this before I take it into Lexus for service? Appreciate any thoughts - and look forward to posting to the forum more as mods get under way!

Since the car is new, I would just take it to the dealership. But in terms of suspension design since it has brand new heim joints, bushings, and bearings that are breaking in and that noise isn't too uncommon. Since you are in New York temperature changes can also make these sounds persist while its breaking in.

I'd go to the dealership, I'm sure they'll take care of it and probably just grease up the trouble areas. Its brand new so use the dealer resources while you have it!
