Rock in suspension housing

freeman727 · 06-05-2013, 10:37 AM

So I've been having a little rumble and vibration from the rear of the car at low speeds. The dealer found a small rock or pebble in the rear suspension housing. How common is this? Was glad I stopped by they were able to wet sand a couple wife induced scratches.

I know there is a common problem with the cow bell sound clunking at low speeds... But its more common when coilovers are installed, although this only happened to my E92 my E90 hasnt had the issue yet.

I have the cowbell sound right now haha! It sounds like a rock between the rear brake dust shield and the disc, common problem?? will pull apart this weekend and inspect.

That is a good way to put the sound. I am stock with EDC.
