Squealing from front of car

330greaser · 11-08-2009, 10:39 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm having a problem (amongst others...)

After driving my 06 330i for a while (3-4 miles), I begin to hear a squealing sound from the front of my car. It only happens at low speed, and essentially traveling straight ahead or slightly off center. It goes away above 20MPH or when turning more than 20 degress or so.

I heard another e90 with the same sound recently, so I figured someone out there has to have experienced this.

Any ideas?

I have this same problem, I've had my car at the dealer twice for the issue and they don't know what's causing it. They thought it was the brakes but the problem has stuck with me after having both fronts and rears replaced and the squealing happens even if I'm not on the brakes at all.

Interestingly one of our Benzes has a similar issue and the dealer doesn't know what's causing it on that car either.

Not to be smart, but if everyone knows about this, anyone want to share?
