i have a rattle in the rear of the car when i hit a bump, you can only hear it with the windows down. i have done a search with no luck. any ideas? |  |  | | 06-11-2006, 07:01 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
Try pulling on the e-brake slightly when you go over the bump.
Could also be an exhaust hanger? __________________ ...steven

it is the rear brakes. buy new brake shims for the rear, or replace the brakes and sensors.. (NAPA) | | | | | 06-11-2006, 07:22 PM | #4 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: asheville, nc, usa Posts: 82 |
ok thanks, bmw auto dealer said they were getting worn. i guess i will have to replace soon. | | | | | 06-11-2006, 07:26 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 |
yep. i have the same problem. Brakes (unless urgent) are last on my list. I let the light stay on for 3000 miles or so. it allows me time to save money and research the problem and correctly fix it possibly with an upgrade | | | | | 06-13-2006, 05:37 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 |
put in new pads today...no more noise. | | | | | 06-13-2006, 10:59 PM | #7 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: asheville, nc, usa Posts: 82 |
what is the name of the pads you used? did you have to turn your rotors? | | | | | 06-14-2006, 01:11 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: WA STATE Posts: 129 |
When you do your breaks its a good idea to just get new rotors. They are not that expensive and are perfect (not warped or worn).... Bavarian auto parts has them for cheap. | | | | | 06-14-2006, 07:45 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 |

(look at these huge pads!) | | | | | 06-14-2006, 12:50 PM | #10 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: asheville, nc, usa Posts: 82 |
is it advisable to replace the wear sensors also when you change your rotors and pads if they are not worn into? | | | | | 06-14-2006, 01:13 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Asheville NC Posts: 669 |
you don't need to replace the sensors unless they are broken. A couple times I broke mine pulling them out to install in the new pads.
If you need help on the install I may be able to help | | | | |
