Rotational Clicking Noise

JStang · 04-28-2015, 09:31 AM

I have been hearing a rotational clicking noise that is coming from the rear axle of my 07 335i with 90k miles. I have jacked up the rear and spun the wheels and nothing. Where else could this be coming from?

Look for a nail in one of the rear tires

Already looked and nothing. At first, I thought that was definitely the issue but now it is clicking more than once per tire rotation.

Ok good. Sometimes debris can get jammed up in the parking brake /hub assembly area. Try looking behind the rotors for such...

Was reading about another guy who said his lug bolts were too long with his wheel setup and they were contacting the hub. I will look into this tonight.

I had a similar sound. My TPMS sensor came loose in the wheel. Mine are strapped to the rim with a steal band since the wheels can't accommodate TPMS sensors.
