Default suspension noise

I’m getting a noise from the suspension when cornering hard. I only hears it during hard left hand turns and slaloms. The noise sounds like a squeak of a spring.
It is like something is in need of grease. Is this normal suspension noise ?
Anyone else hear this type of noise?
Thanks,
Alex

I had a squeak that happened quite often. Lubed the sway bar bushings and it went away. Not sure if this would work in your case, but it is something to try.

I dont know too much about suspensions but check the bushings, maybe they need to be replaced, I hope I could help a little. Hope you fix it soon.
