E30 Noise from rear wheels

[blairsneighbore30]

Hey there,

I have a 1991 325i e30 convertible. Recently I noticed a squealing sound coming from the rear wheels area. Usually around acceleration. Ive looked around some forums but haven't seen anything that sounds like mine.

Also Have noticed a clunk when I change between drive and reverse and park. Happening more and more..

Any and all is much appreciated.

Thanks!

I am going to move (copy) this thread to the main E34 forum, much more traffic than in here.

No takers I see. I would guess brakes first, but based on your acceleration issue you could have a bad wheel bearing. As for the clunk you don't say how many miles the car has. I would guess CV joints on either the driveshaft or the rear half shafts. Without more details from you it really is just a guessing game.

Wheel bearing is normally louder in curves. I would check the driveshafts/output shafts, see here in section 33 https://www.bmwtechinfo.com/repair/main/561en/index.htm
