Mark 178 Report post Posted September 8, 2015 Trying to figure out what is causing a strange intermittent vibration/rumble from the rear of my E46 touring when driving. When driving under constant throttle (at a steady speed) I will get a rumbling/vibration from the rear of the car which sounds similar to driving on a rumble strip. This isn't constant, it will happen in 2 seconds bursts intermittently and seemingly at random. When this happens the revs drop slightly and then recover again when the rumbling stops. Trying to think what it could be: Binding caliper? Crap tyres (it currently has shitty chinese tyres on it which I will change when funds allow)? Something to do with the diff? Any suggestions?

Rubix 434 Report post Posted September 8, 2015 Have always heard that description when a wheel bearing is failing, sounds like going over rumble strip/Judder bars etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
