Squeaky suspension??

Driving home from work this morning, I turned off the stereo so that I could listen to the beautiful sound of the engine...as you do

A noise I'd never noticed before while driving was coming from the front of the car, noticed it especially when driving at slower speeds...less wind noise etc. Sounded kinda squeaky/creaky, hard to describe really.

When I got home I popped the hood and pressed down on the front of the car, sure enough, the same sound was reproduced and I'm no mechanical expert but I'm pretty sure it's just coming from the suspension. When I pressed down on the car, it comes back up nice and quick, no bouncing or anything like that, but it does squeak a fair bit.

Is this "normal" or is it something I should get checked out? Is there something else it "could" be or is it nothing to worry about? Never had anything like this before with any other car I've owned...just looking for opinions/help, better to be safe than sorry!

Gord.
