2007 328xi making bizzare noise front wheels

Silentzz · 04-11-2020, 04:24 PM

Hello guys, this is my first post and I am asking for some help. I have recently encountered an issue that I have not been able to troubleshoot. Pretty much while the car is moving forward it makes a disgusting grinding noise almost like its on train tracks. The noise gets a little better while turning but it is still there. Nothing seems to be hitting the road underneath the car but it sure does sound like it, you can also feel the whole car shaking quite a bit as well. I have also ruled out the idea that it is engine related because the car revs perfectly fine. I haven't been able to get under the car yet but if anyone has any ideas or has had the same issue please leave a reply. I'll let you guys know if I have any updates.

My friends jeep once made a grinding/crunching noise while driving. Only got worse. His wheel bearings were bad. Drivers side so much so the cover fell off and a bearing was missing. Had it gone any longer the wheel could have fallen off at speed

Edit: Wow that really does sound like a train.. Brakes?

Do both bearings and brakes. My bearings went out at less than 60k miles.
