Steering, Suspension squeek/noise

[Cthulhugambit]

having an issue with a 2022 Cross tourismo 4S, i have a terrible squeeking noise which started occuring about 3 after buying (3-4 months ago), please see the video attached, occurs mainly at slow speeds whilst manouvering i.e parking, at higher speeds it tends it is harder to notice, happens mainly when steering but also over bumps, being quoted approx £3800 (labour is a big part of this!) i am obviously having to argue that this cannot be my cost to cover, the claim is that it is not covered under warranty as the part is not defective on the noise alone, if it works fine then it is not covered, the logic baffles me, how can a part make this terrible noise yet not be defective at the same time.

pleased to hear you thoughts/advice

thanks
