Default Squeaky Front Suspension & Brakes : 2006 A3 / 3.2

My front suspension squeaks when it is below 0 C outside. The noise goes away after about 10 miles of driving. I'm going to tkae it in for the 25K service in the next two weeks. Any thoughts? My front brakes also squeal at very low speed, low braking force when it is cold out.

Default What's normal? The breaks or the suspension...

I have had numerous other vehicles, and not one of them squeak at low temperatures.

Car stays outside and it gets below 0F here.

Default My '98 Civic suspension doesn't squeak at -35 C...

Any idea what part of the suspension squeaks? IMHO, if something is sqeaking, then it is not lubricated properly or not made for low temperature service.

Default I have these same "features"...

But like crew said, when I went to the dealer and told them these squeaks, they said it was normal.
