Hey folks, having noises/issues with my '85 325e
So When going 55+ there is a "Brrrrrrrrr" or Groan that increases with speed. Thinking diff but fluid is OK and I don't have a limited slip (I think, did the "raise rear" test and only one wheel turns...yes one wheel)
NOTE: makes noise at 55+ even when NOT in gear
Also, when accelerating there is a binding/brrrr'ing around 1500rpm in every gear...so I took it to a shop and they raised it in the air and the mechanic said there's a ton going on with the tranny and it's hot as hell. I was under the vehicle so I verified
The front driver's side wheel has a loose tie-rod (i.e. it has a little play at the 3 and 9 position)
thoughts? The mechanic thinks the 55+ humming is related to the tranny as well...
