Hey guys. So for about a month now my 325e has been making a squeaking noise from the right front tire. I was recently under the car and saw that the wear on the tire was extreme on the inner most inch and a half of the tire. It is only on the right tire, the left tire has a perfect wear pattern. What could this be? Tie rod? Wheel bearing? I would appreciate fast answers as this problem is chewing through my tires. Thanks!

Check to make sure your strut spring rest hasn't collapsed from rust and is now resting on the top of the tire. This happened to me shortly after I got my 84 325e. Exact same symptom, extreme wear on the inner inch or two of the tire. The only fix is to replace both struts (because if one side has collapsed, the other is likely about to as well).
Might as well take the opportunity to replace control arm bushings while you have the front suspension disassembled. :) -
Thanks for the reply, I'll go check my car in the next couple hours to see if that was the problem.Comment
