Speed Dependent Ticking Noise
Hello all,
I have been experiencing a speed dependent tapping/ticking noise from my right rear for the last two months or so and I have had no luck diagnosing it. Has anyone else dealt with this before? It is a fairly light noise, and only noticeable between about 5 and 30 MPH. It sounds almost like a zip tie is around the axle and is smacking a suspension arm, but I have looked and found nothing, and a shop putting it on the rack was able to recreate the noise but has not been able to diagnose it. SSR had the car up on a lift and removed/checked the wheels, ended up replacing the rear left axle seal which was leaking, but nothing has fixed the issue. I am wondering now if there is something in the brake dust shield, but I have no clear answers. I'll try to take a video later and post it, but wondering if someone else has dealt with it before. |

Possibly a rear parking brake not fully disengaging which wouldn’t be visible with a wheel off.
I had this issue. To much bs to type my whole story but it’s worth considering in your case. |

What was the solution in your case to that issue? Just adjusting via the hole in the hub?

My issue was/is the rear parking brake not fully disengaging when the handle is fully depressed. BMW dealership to thank for it. When I got mine and it was under warranty I took it to the dealer to have them install the updated brake dust shields. The rears required removal/replacement of the parking brake assembly and it took the tech an extra day to do it because he was struggling. When I get the car back, the parking brake neeeever felt quite the same. The pull was off. Didn’t want to be the guy whining to a service manager that “the FEEL of my parking brake pull isn’t right” so I let it be. Cut to 3yrs later, precisely one week before a track weekend and I’ve got a rotational noise I can’t pin down coming from the rear. I presumed just like you that something was caught in the dust shield. After thoroughly visually inspecting and removing pads I realized that wasn’t it and it hit me… F parking brake. So I pulled the brake juuuust a hair and spun the wheel and MF if that wasn’t the same sound. Fortunately a hard yank of the e-brake and a hard release was enough to disengage everything and my noise is gone but, it definitely isn’t completely addressed. YMMV. God speed. |

I had a similar problem like a ticking sound from the rear. Sometimes squeaking and clicking. And it ended up being a loose/ broken break pad ear. Replaced the pads and it went away 🤷‍♂️
