Strange Noise Coming From Rear Of R34 [Video]

[dex_911]

Hi guys!

I have a strange noise coming from the rear of the car. This just happened all of a sudden. One day the car is fine, the next, this bloody noise!

I have attached a video of it here from youtube that I took this morning.

Can any of you guys please help me identify the issue? It doesnt happen when the car is at idle or when I rev the engine at idle. It also occurs at any speed. More intense it seems as the car gets faster.

Any help, would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Damn dude that sounds bad

I wouldnt drive it far or at all

Could be simple

Old lady handbag dragging or kids bike wheel or a rock in your hubcaps lol

But its more likely , brake, axle, bearings, diff, driveshaft or even a tyre falling off

Get it up off the ground on stands or lift

Run the car at low speed in gear and watch from behind it , do not lay under a car moving ever at home no loose clothing either or jewelry on !!

It should stand out easy where its coming from ?

Just remember even at idle those wheels will grab you and spit you out while dropping off stands (3 legged ones only not those flimsy tubes)

My bet is axle or outer bearing on the stub

But not safe at all

yea get it up on jack stands and have a look for anything that may be dragging or loose. id check wheel bearings, the swaybar mounts etc just anything that would cause a vibration if loose. if your not sure on this then take it to a suspension place and ask them to have a look

Thanks for the feedback guys...I have taken to a shop to look at this morning. Didn't want to take any chances. Will post back my findings just in case someone is in the same situation.

good choice, suspension is not something you want to go wrong. hopefully its nothing major
