XDrive "wobble"??
Hey guys,
So I've been experiencing this weird, I want to say wobble? in the right front. To the point that when the car is traveling really slow say 5 mph you can feel it in the right front. I have replaced the bearing and the axle. I'm now wondering if the axle support bearing could be the culprit? I slowly started noticing this issue after hitting a REALLY bad pothole. Blew out my front strut and bent my wheel. All is fresh now, shocks all around, new bearing, axle, wheels and tires. However every time I have xDrive it isn't smooth at lower speeds. At higher speeds the car is smooth and sometimes I get what you'd call bearing noise and other times it seems pretty smooth. Kinda scratching my head here and looking for some insight. I need to replace the turbos so I'm going to replace the axle carrier as a last resort but figured I'd mention it to see what you guys would say or if you've had this issue before. |

I totally forgot I posted this however I did find the issues and I'm going to share what I did to fix it as I find these threads with little to no information anymore.
There were two issues going on; 1. I had a bad driveshaft joint from the transfer case to the front diff. I replaced this and at the time of replacement I noticed some play coming from the transfer case. This brings me to my second issue. 2. After some digging I noticed someone on the forum a while ago had the same issue and fixed it by replacing the transfer case fluid and doing the calibration for it. I since then set up an older laptop with SSD and ISTA+ software. Sure enough it showed that the transfer case fluid was due to be replaced as per ISTA+. ISTA+ had a walkthrough to the calibration and it only took a min or so. Car now has no "wobble" or chattering coming from the driveline when xDrive is turned on (xDelete). |
Appreciate
