New fox shock squeaks. Is it normal or I need to get a new one?

I went through this awhile back with Fox, as long as the shock compresses and rebounds fully it's likely that you will just need to lubricate the shaft of the shock with a rubber safe lubricant - which did work for me! Apparently the shaft seals on some of these shocks are tight which causes the squeaking.

This is normal and will go away. Mine have done it in the past. As mentioned you can lube just a tad with PE silicon or a drop of Tri Flow, a drop.
