Default 2018 nx300 front left wheel squeak ?

Hey everyone i purchased my 2018 nx300 fsport last week it has 35000 km. I’m really satisfied with the vehicle . Today I went out for a 2 hour drive up north and when driving over bumps or even the metal bridge separations I noticed that the front left wheel squeaks even going over certain bumps at low speeds but the right side seems fine. Anyone ever have this issue ?

It could be the sway bar end links or the bushings where it attaches to the frame. Take some spray lube and spray those items. If the squeak goes away, they will need to be disassembled and lubed with something better. If the squeak remains, try spraying other suspension items until you find it.

haven't thought of that . It might be the issue. I just find it weird that a 2018 with only 35 000 km has this happen . Anyways I will mention this at my appointment next week thanks for the help I appreciate it !

i have a appointment at the dealer tomorrow they will be replacing the front shock and wonder if the noise is normal when the shock goes over a bump and if the shock compression makes a certain noise ?
I have realized today that both left and right make a certain noise going over bumps .

Default Stabilizer bar bushings

I bought a new NX300 F Sport3 and at 3,600 kilometres (2237 miles) on the odometer, I began to get a creaking sound from the front suspension every time I went on and over a smooth raised bump like a speed bump. Sounded like a spring mattress creaking for about 3-4 seconds. Dealership replaced the stabilizer (sway) bar bushings and it fixed the issue. Hope this helps.
