Odd noises

So after 2 months of driving with a clanking clicking noise coming from my 3. I finally brought it to a shop. After a few posts here and help from various members I still couldn't find the issue.

So I brought to an off-road shop. It's been 5 full days and they still have no news. They say they have worked on it and put some mics with sensors on the underbody to narrow the problem down. Checked the tcase tranny and front axle/shafts and drive shaft. Same things I checked. Do I leave it there I while longer or bring it some place else?

Figure out what this shop is spending and set constraints on what you're willing to spend. A new shop will just have to start over.

The sound recording of the noise would great to identify the problem. Maybe some one had a similar issue and could identify it.

It's not the noise that you get when you go over bumps in the road is it?

No it's when I'm going slow or just starting out it feel like clicking and piping noises. It's almost every time. Shop didn't end up charging me yet. But I took the truck back for the weekend

My '09 Adventure 5-speed @ 60k/mi started to make this sound too. Almost sounds like a quiet 'cog' click, like when you start ascending on a roller coaster.

I haven't pin pointed it yet either but I suspect it's in the front end somewhere. Do you have a front elocker by chance?
