Squeak at low speeds
2007 RX 350 AWD with 75K miles. At low speeds, below 20 mph have a squeak coming from somewhere. Here it a tiny bit at high speeds, but then sometimes just "kicks in" at between 15 to 20 mph. Will here it in drive or if move into neutral. Also hear it on acceleration and costing at low speeds (below 20mph). Do not hear it when in reverse.
Took to dealer yesterday. They thought it might be a bad/worn driveshaft bearing. However, when we went on a test drive to confirm the noise before doing repair work (replacing the bearing), the noise was gone. They had done some other work, including greasing (if that's the right term) the seal where the bearing is.
This morning the noise is back. Trying to understand if its really a bearing issue, or something else.

I know your post is over a decade old but were you able to fix this issue?
