Squeak/creak from osr

Durham4416 · 08-04-2013, 03:44 PM

My e91 330d msport has developed a squeaking noise from the osr, it seems to have happened since loading the car up for camping over the weekend, if you rock the car you can hear it creaking and also when driving over slight bumps in the road and accelerating and braking, I assume its something to do with the suspension, I'm going to lack it up tomorrow but has anyone else had this problem, could it be the rear trailing arm bushes or the spring or something else, any advice much appreciated, cheers

Our 320d e91 recently suffered from a sheared bolt in the nsr hub. Which meant the trailing arm came loose, the wheel was live and could have caused a serious accident.
I was going to start a thread on it as I've not found anyone with a similar issue.
Check this.

Did that cause a squeaking noise then? I'll have to have a look tomorrow, any more ideas anyone?

Never heard a thing, apart from the trailing arm rubbing on the drive shaft!!
Thought it was worth a mention.

Cracked spring? Quite a common issue on the E9x model....

So in had the car on a ramp today and can't see anything obvious, no corrosion/cracks on the spring etc and its stopped making the noise, seems strange, I'll have to list see how it goes

cheers for the replies
