 Cheers for the replies guys,

In answer to your questions, the rear wheel bearing passenger side has been swapped out as it was rumbling however the other bearings are fine. I had the vibration before i fitted any of the new parts to my car, thinking breaks were the cause i had them swapped out with black diamond discs and new pads. I then found out one of the rear wheels was cracking from the inside of the rim outwards so i went and bought new wheels and yet i still have the vibration.

When i am driving through town at say 30/40 its not too bad but when i am on the motorway at say 85 its horrible. The whole dash and steering wheels shakes. I thought maybe it was the drive shaft bearing but then i am no mechanic so i am just guessing.

So from 85 upwarss if i have the balls to drive it at that speed with the shaking it gets worse.

I have driven it at speed and then dtook it out of gear and let it roll but its still there.

Its so bad you can feel it through the seats, well at least i i can through the drivers seat.

 

Any ideas guys???

Cheers

 

Pete

Under what conditions do you experience the problem mate? And does the problem precede the fitment of all the above parts?

What condition are  your wheel bearings in? Any strange whining noises?

 Hi,

Your my last hope, i have an E30 318is which at present has a very annoying vibration that seems to be coming through the whole car however i am lost as to where it is coming from.

I have had a new set of wheels fitted with new tyres, new brakes all round. I have had the tracking and balancing redone also. I have had all the wheel bearings checked and new ones fitted where needed.

Please please please can anyone help me out. I haven't a clue as to what to do next. BMW told me i need a full new suspension bushes but all the bushes have been swapped out in the past 2 years. They did however tell me that it may be the drive shaft bearing????

If anyone could shed some light on my problem i would be so grateful

 

Cheers

Pete
