I don't think I would take it to the same dealer who told me it was a pilot bearing. Do you have any independent Porsche shops in your area? Your local PCA chapter can help you find one.

Thank you, I’ve only had the car for 6 months and it’s been perfect so I haven’t searched other shops yet, but will.
Thank you

Best way to listen for a noise is to drive close to a solid wall at night so the noise bounces off the wall back to you, you will be amazed at the difference.

I did that, but unfortunately under about 25mph it doesn’t make the noise. Hard to find a long enough wall with no one around to get up to speed for a few seconds to listen.
