Annoying rattle/squeak - can you help?

Our 2007 Nissan Note SVE Auto Petrol has suddenly developed the most annoying rattle/squeak coming from the passenger dash area, (passenger airbag area). Nissan cannot find any fault but to take it apart will cost £200 and they can't guarantee to find the cause. The rattle/squeak disappears when turning the steering wheel into a left hand bend! Any ideas before we go mad!

The front subrame mounting points are prone to fracture. This requires URGENT attention. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/nissan/note-2006/?se...d and : good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/mot/nissan/note...7
