Squeaks or chirp on left side when suspension compresses?

Is this normal? My 09 MC has 800 miles on it. could something be loose? Its not terrible or too annoying yet. I only hear when the window is open and I'm going over bumps or road imperfections. Thanks.

Nope. Not even if it is the right side.

I think I remember somebody posting something similar and it was loose bolt or something.

I would have the dealer check it.

If I stand on the right door sill and rock the car up and down I can hear something like that coming from the right front suspension area. I've driven with the windows down and don't hear it though... Pretty sure it's not normal...
