Can you narrow down the noise complaint at all? When exactly do you hear it? When do you not hear it?
It really sounded like brakes squeeling? Did they take the brakes apart, clean up everything, and put them back together? Sometimes that will do it.
Or is it a grinding noise ..... like a bearing? Do you hear the noise if the hubs are locked in? Not locked in?
Or a thumping noise? Could be ball joint, or any rubber like bushing ---- sway bar mounts, spring mounts, etc
Can you narrow down the symptom/noise a little for us?
Good luck. These noises are sometimes hard to find, but are often a DIY job to correct.

I test drove a 02 a while back and it had a squeeking type of noise. We had the mechanic look at it and he said it was the rubber boot on the front drive making the noise. A little grease or something should solve it. If that is the case.
