but you don't hear it when you shut the door? I had this problem a while back and i looked everywhere for it. I eventually found that a piece inside the fog light had come loose and fallen off inside the lens. I still haven't figured out how to get it out... i will though.

I am having the same issue... In my case it's the lower fornt passenger control arm. I still did not replace it. I called up the dealer and he told me $400 for the part (comes with bushings) I notice my issue when I am driving slow and pump the brake or when making turns into my driveway. But first I would have the bushings checked out, it's cheaper.

front lower control arm bushings or strut bar bushings as some call it. Easy to spot on a rack

ive had all of the above things replaced by warranty. problem was not fixed until dealership replaced my motor and tranny mounts. not saying that is the problem, but if the above does not solve your problem, get the motor/tranny mounts looked at
