Hello friends,
My Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5, LWB, 2017 makes an occasional noise and vibration which usually starts at lower speed, increases when I slow down and completely stops with a shudder when I brake. The sound is like the racing of a high speed car or motorcycle.
You can hear the sound in this recorded video:

I intentionally did not come to a complete stop while recording this video so that I can have a longer recording of the noise. At the end of the video, I come to a complete stop and the noise stops. (1:20)
I have been to 3 garages including Al Habtoor but all of them ask me to recreate the sound during a test drive which is impossible to do as I have been unable to establish any correlation between the sound and any specific usage of the car.
Yesterday I got my timing belt replaced by Al Habtoor and they had told me that maybe the sound would go away after that but lo and behold it occurred within 5 minutes of me taking the car out of their workshop.
The following jobs were done on the car as a part of maintenance or service which did not fix the noise:
All Disc skimming
Front brake pad replacement
Engine oil, filter replacement
Steering column boot lubrication
Brake cleaning
All 4 tyres replaced (HT to AT)
Wheel balancing and alignment
These jobs were done over period of few months. None of these jobs fixed the noise problem. Also I have been on 3 newbie offroad drives but the problem has never occurred during off-roading.
Apologies for the long post, I had to make sure I provide all the details because I am at my wit's end here. I will be going back to Al Habtoor but it would great if an experienced Carnity member can guide me in the right direction of what this noise could be.
Thank you!
