E93 rear squeak
Hi all
Fairly new owner of my E93. Has been fine apart from squeak that's developed in the rear suspension.
I've read the forums and can see this isn't uncommon, however a mechanic has checked/lubed the ball joints and this doesn't seem to have cured it.
- noise only present when going over bumps in road (drain covers etc and especially speedbumps!) Quite a high pitched metal on metal sound
- doesn't effect handling, fuel economy or anything else noticeable
- can be heard from inside car, where it sounds more central and almost like a spring noise (in that there's a change in the sound for the up and down movement)
- tends to happen most when the drivers side wheel hits bumps etc but does occasionally happen when the passenger side wheel hits drains etc as well.
If it isn't the ball joints, what should I be looking for?
Or maybe it is and the lubejob that the mechanic did hasn't worked?
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts!
