Noise at above 40mph

tpmmazo · 05-13-2017, 03:31 PM

Whenever I go above 40mph I hear a kah kah kah noise that then begins to speed up gradually as I go over 40. It sounds like something is rubbing. Has anyone on e90post experienced this. No errors are thrown and the car is 100% stock.

Check tires see if you have rocks stuck in the threads.

Buckled rims?

Needs a wheel alignment?

Tires may be too wide and rubbing on the suspension parts?

Diff? Handbrake shoes?

Could be wheel bearing. It gets super loud as the speed builds up, yes?

I fixed it. I had taken off the splash guard and forgot to put it back on. Oops!
