335i: Rear NS rattle when turning right?

inkey$ · 05-05-2013, 06:08 AM

Just been out and when I turn right at any speed upwards of 5mph there a strange rattle noise from the rear near side wheel. Sounds a little like a tiny pebble in a can. Doesn't seem to be anything loose. Handbrake needs tightening so wondered if it was anything to do with that perhaps.

Any ideas? Should I take it into my local stealer under warranty?

rear pad sensors might be loose and hitting the wheel arch?

Rear pad sensor is on the off side, could be the bottom tip of broken spring had one on a Z4 rattled around in the suspension arm.

Cheers. So checking the springs seems good first port of call then?

Possibly the water shield contacting the disc brake.

I had this on an dc5 integra, turned out to be a small stone inside the middle part of the vented brake disc - god knows how it got in there!

Thanks for the replies. I'll go through the above list and check it out. Doesn't sound too serious though which is the main thing.
