Default S60 Type-R

Hello, I have a 2005 S-60R and when it rains, it makes this unbearable scream. I'm pretty sure it's not a belt, however it does come from up front more so from the passenger side. It will stop when I come to a stand still, but as soon as I start moving again it does the same thing. I took it to the dealership and they advised me that there is nothing wrong with it that they can see, so I guess I'll have to try and get it there in the rain. Any Suggestions as to what it could be?
Thank you

Check the R Forum on Swedespeed. Search for "rain"

Apparently this is a very common thing with the R. Some sort of rubbing between the driveshaft and resonator that happens only in the rain. There are a couple of various fixes. Search the forum and you shoulod come up with some answers.

That prob usually only does it when u drive into a huge puddle or drive thru heavy slush though. Shouldnt be doing it all the time. Ive only had it happen once, and that was when I hit way too much slush. But knowledgable dealer will recognize the problem. I think the fix was adjusting the brace for better clearance.
