When I get out of my car and press up and down on the front passenger-side fender compressing the suspension I get a 'SQUEAK!' 'SQUEAK!' 'SQUEAK!' On the driver-side front fender nothing. Nothing on the back either. Just the front passenger-side a very noticeable squeaking when I compress the suspension by bouncing the corner up and down. When I drive over a bump or turn hard to the left (compressing the right front side) same squeak. I called the dealer and they said it might be worn out struts but they'll have to see it obviously. Question: Whatever it is (short of rotors, pad, tires) should I have to pay for it? Or should it be covered under warranty? I haven't hit any potholes or damaged the car in any way. I don't track it or drive hard. So should anything that's worn out after just 55,000km @36 months (still under warranty) be my cost? And what do you guys think it is?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've got the same thing in the rear in '08 CS with PASM.
I get the same issue with my 2007 BMW 130i and its the handbrake and apparently cant be fixed - go figure!
How can the handbrake affect the front passenger corner? Doesn't the handbrake, brake the rear wheels only?
My theory is that it's oil moving in PASM system. It only does it when cold or has been sitting for a few days.
I'm no expert however if it were my car I would expect the repair to be covered under the warranty. Lets us know how make out with the Dealer.
