Have an XC60 2020.

It makes a metallic "tink" at one very specific place when turning. Just to left of centre. Every time. Driving me potty.

Noise is coming from passenger hub area.

Sounds like something hitting the shield...but this doesn't seem to be the case

Anyone seen this before?

I had similar on an xtrail.
It turned out to be the brake shield being bent slightly from when I fitted some new pads, and the edge of it clipped the wishbone when turning the wheel.

Find somewhere flat, get the steering in the position where it happens, roll it back and forth until it's close to the point of contact so you can provoke the noise by rocking the car an inch or so. At that point you should be able to reproduce it with your head close to the source and it should become obvious where it's coming from. You may need to take the wheel off to actually see the problem.
