    Does it sound like a chirping? Like crickets? If so, probably driveshaft carrier bearing.

    Not chirping sounds like it’s coming from the wheels.

    My 2nd gen had same symptoms and the tech had to put it on the rack and actually put in gear to verify at around 48mph it started chirping then at 57ish it became steady.

    Yeah, mine would make noises starting as low as 2mph, but I had to be under load. I jacked mine up and let the engine run the wheels and got nothing. I’m not sure how the tech distorted mine, I told the service writer what I thought it was and later that day they called to confirm it was the bearing and that parts were ordered.
