Rumbling Sound From The Rear After KW1 Suspension Change

MTK24 · 09-04-2019, 06:01 PM

I have a 2011 335ix and just changed my suspension to kw1.

After changing and driving through street side markers or and pot hole/bump there is a rumbling sound coming from the rear of the car. The shop told me it's the rear sway bar/links.

Did the shop possibly screw up the suspension install? Or could I have possibly received a bad batch of suspension?

I have this exact issue. Going to the shop tomorrow to have a look.

Rear sway bar endlinks. Clunking gone.

Was your ride bouncy in the rear and firm in the front?

The shop told me it's the rear strut bearings in the rear causing rumbling and uneven driving . The kw1 did not come with it
