I'm out of warranty, so I'm not looking forward to hearing what they'll charge me. Hopefully, I'll get an extended warranty in a couple of days (I've been researching them...Warranty Direct seems like the best to me) and they won't notice it when they do the inspection, if one is required. Then I can get them to pay for it.

Default Suspension...

I had/have the same thing. They replaced one side and now need to do the other.

Make sure it is also no rubber to glass on doors etc.

Usually it is the stabilizer bar bushings that squeek. The dealer will most likely charge a couple hours labor to replace with new ones. However, a healthy dose of lubricant will quell the noise for now. Typically there is no damage associated with this sound so immediate attention is more for your ears than the car.
