Default Squeaky Struts

Anyone have an issue with squeaky struts?

Whenever it rains and it's lower than 45 degrees, it seems that my driver side rear strut makes this reallllllyy horrible sounding "squeak" noise.... like a really creaky bed, but obviously correlating with the size of the spring of the strut.

Anything to worry about? Seems like just a weird noise from the spring.

if i recall correctly, someone on here reported a leaky strut. you might want to look at yours and see if you see any oily residue on the strut.

It's been crazy raining the past week or so now, haven't been able to get under there. Will check.

If it's a leaky strut, it sounds like a warranty issue to me.

Am I right?

Yeah, will definitely be covered under warranty - however, if there is really nothing wrong with it, they will most definitely charge the diag fees.
