My noise is a rattling/squeaking that occurs while driving around 40-50mph through sweeping curves (I live up a canyon - so I hear this everyday). It's not a constant squeal, it's more of a squeaking/rattling/I don't know how to explain it... Applying the brakes doesn't seem to do anything but I haven't tried braking really hard. It seems to get worse around the corners...

It can be in or out of gear (manual), so I don't think it is drivetrain-related.

It really sounds like something is loose up front...

Oh, and it only happens after the car has warmed up (about 15-20 minutes). And I don't hear it too often on other roads, really just this curvy canyon road that has rough pavement.

I get to hear it all the way up and down everyday, about 25 minutes of CONSTANT noise!!!

I've taken the vehicle to 2 different dealerships and they can never replicate this problem. The last one tried lubing the sway bar bushing based on my advice (I had a VW Jetta that always had dried out bushings). Unfortunately it didn't do a thing...

Any ideas?

Update - took it in a couple weeks ago for them to try again. They gave me an X3 loaner that was pretty fun, but thirsty on gas.

After almost a week, I got the car back. They said they though it was something in the dash, so they ripped out the dash and thought they fixed it. The noise is still there of course, plus there is now this horrible crackling noise coming from the dash.

Not only did they not fix it, but they gave my car new rattles!

It goes back next Monday for the 3rd time...

Same. I have that rattling noise on the driver side.
