2013 Outlander front suspension squek/

Hello,
I have 2013 Outlander GT V6 and my front suspension squeaks/creaks when I go over bumps. I can hear it when is cold outside. Even in 40s 50s i can still hear it but it gets worst when is colder. I tried to explain this to Mitsubishi service guys but they keep saying that everything is ok with my suspesion and that noise is normal in cold weather in these cars. Im not exactly sure about that. I never had this problem in all my previous cars.
Please check out my noise video.

If you know or had the same problem please let me know. I am trying to fix it every time I go for an oil change and use the extended warranty on this and they say the same story every time.
Is this really normal noise for these cars?
Thank you for your help!

I have the same issue for a while now. Still trying to figure it out. I suspect maybe the strut rod needs to be lubed or the strut bearing. I'm going to be replacing my sway bar end links when weather allows so I'm gonna look around while i have the car up. I will also lube my sway bar bushings and see if that helps. I keep you posted.

Is it me or there's also some knocking sound there or is just that hollow squeaking sound?

I don’t hear any knocking sound. The best thing is that the dealer’s mechanics said that they chcecked the suspension and everything is ok. But of course when car is standing in a warm shop for an hour or so all the parts on the suspension warms up and then they can’t hear it even if they go for a test drive around the block in a cold weather. I have to show them next time right after I get there for an oil change. Hopefully it will be able to go there before the warmer weather comes.
