Need some help!!!

[e30jean]

hello R3V im still new to this site but as of lately my beloved e30 ran into a problem.

I made a trip to LA and came back to AZ, by the time I was coming back every time I go between 10mph to 25mph it starts rattling underneath the center of the e30 to the front passenger side. When it rattles it feels like the front right wheel starts to shake too. As of now I'm guessing it could be the ball joints.

feedback suggestions are welcome.


Please Help!

1: what model e30

2: that's a mega balljoint fail if its shuddering that bad

3: more likely bent wheel

See if that front wheel is off balance. May just have lost a weight.

its an 86 325i sedan

I checked the wheel already and they are perfectly fine

If you mean you checked the balance, then what about a wheel bearing? It would be more obvious at higher speeds, but you never know. Rattles only under acceleration? You feel the shake through the steering wheel I assume? You sure it's the right front?

Sounds like the drive shaft carrier bearing to me.

I took off the driveshaft and the bearing looked fine to me but when I was taking off the guibo so i can access the bearing i noticed the guibo was being held by all the 3 nuts and bolts but the other part that the guibo is held by was only being held by one bolt it was missing the other two so I'm guessing it could be that
