Squeaky Front Suspension

Some time ago, I noticed that my left front suspension was squeaking like crazy. I confirmed this by pushing up and down on the left front of the car. I seem to recall that others had identified this as a ball joint issue. Anyway, in time, this noise stopped and I have not heard it in months.

Is it possible that this problem corrected itself? Or should I pursue it, even though the noise has disappeared? I have 10k left on my warranty.

I would at least mention it when car is in for service. It may be a strut, strut mount or ball joint. These problems do not "fix themselves", so better have it checked out. Hopefully dealer will figure it out.

I had the same thing... dealer replaced the ball joints for me... squeek disappeared... just bring it in, should still be covered if you are under warranty...
