I recently started getting a pretty bad sound coming from what I believe is either the passenger side front or rear wheel on my 1986 325e.
It is absolutely not tied to engine speed.
I took off both wheels and saw nothing contacting anything that could make a noise or anything. My first guess is wheel bearings or axle, but it does not change when turning. I did notice that it looks like my calipers are sticking and holding the pads onto or very close to the rotor, but I would think this would create a different sound. I tried taking a video of the sound but It doesn't come through clear enough. I don't think it's the diff either because that seems like more of a whining sound where this is more of a hard clicking or ticking sound.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I couldn't seem to find an answer digging elsewhere so I hope this works.
