This noise from suspension is annoying for several reasons.
1. The mechenics cannot hear it (it is not that noisy) so they cannot fix it unless they are willing to listen carefully
2. the noise seems to happen only at certain bends, usually, left turn, at the apex, or sometimes just when the body roll goes back after exiting a turn or sometimes over speed bumps - but it never happens always, I mean it is unpredictable, only some speed bumps, some turns, that's why it is nearly impossible to show to a mechanic
3. the noise was the most annoying when driving on the most beautiful, gorgeous twisty mountain roads that I enjoyed but hated to listen to the suspension noise along Spanish coast - there it happened whenever you hit the throttle and the suspension moved with the acceleration
and of course in some turns, together with the body roll going level / as the roads were fantastic smooth quality, you could hear what you hardly hear on very bumpy B roads - like those in Britain
4. it is the same noise like I heard in all two previous cars that were older than 5 years - the same noise I heard from Escort and Ford K, but Panda is only three years old
5. it is the same noise that you hear when you use the hand brake when the car is parked, then push the back of the car - you hear a kind of metal squeak, but it is caused by the rear brake fixing the rear wheels, but it is the same kind of noise
I think it is something easy to fix and cheap to fix, I only have no idea what it is. I might try to find a Fiat garage and nearby a certain bump over which the car would ALWAYS make the same noise to show and prove it to a mechanic but your tips or experience might help, too.
I have already got over all those plastic noises, but I don't want to listen to this crap for the rest of my Panda's lifespan, another 15 years? Please, no.
I forgot, there's another mysterious noise and it is not the cabin, but some other time.
