E36 Coupe clicking in rear wheel

[tima 5]

Hi,

I am getting a clicking noise each rotation out of my left rear wheel.

There is no rubbing or tires or uneven brake wear. Cant seem to locate it. Maybe a universal join is buggered?

Whats the best way to tell?

(It seems to be like this after driving it really hard and laying some rubber)

Cheers

worn out handbrake shoes ,

buggered wheel bearing

jack it up and have look , feel for pull in the axle , hub , bearing etc

So just shake it about and see if it has any play?

Take wheel off?

Hmm, Took it for a thrash and didnt reproduce it after it cooled down.

No idea. Maybe diff being stupid?

Stone in your tyre? A nail? Screw?

Right,

I pulled it apart, I dont believe its a bearing due to the fact it will make a woosh sort of rubbing noise you could relate to a dry brake.

But i cant see any contact patches that would cause this.

It only does it when its warm (not engine temp) So after about 50kms of driving. The more its driven gets worse. The brakes are very smooth and unworn with no ridges and new pads are in it. Could it be half shafts or a UJ?

It sounds like the back. We cant feel it at all.

Could be related but the from left wheel has stuff ball ends and wiggles left and right. about 4mm so that causes a shudder in the brakes. There is always a shudder in the bakes cause of this.
