Since I have got the car 2 weeks ago i put about 200Km on it and ever since i got it i realized that there was a creak or some kind of dry sound coming from the suspension when you go over speed bumps, so i take it in and they say its normal for a new car which i know its not cause ive had a honda civic back in 98 and parents cars both with no sound like this, i wasent sure if it was because this car was of poorer quality then the ml or gl or if it was a problem anyways i got them to finally lube some shit for me so for now it seems to be ok... btw this usually happens in colder mornings, not so much today.

i still get a squeak from my suspension when going over bumps at slow speeds and the temp is anything under 12C. i've had a couple of things done (under warranty) to try and fix it: lower control arm replacement and stabilizer bushing replacement, but in both cases the squeak came back...

I think I have a similar problem...its a squeak when going over speed bumps...I had it checked with the dealer long months back but they did not know what the problem is...I think the replacement of the lower control arm and bushings in the front are from the TSB in the US....during my next checkup Im going to talk to them about it.....
