I'm at a bit of a loss trying to troubleshoot a loud squeaking noise on my e34. I don't expect a vague post like this to reveal some type of a-ha moment, but I'm looking for advice on how to approach troubleshooting with home mechanic tools.
Intermittent sqeak happens starting at about 45mph , loudest from inside the car in passenger footwell.
it sounds like its coming from right behind the glovebox. I tried some silicone spray on the control arm and stabilizer bar bushings but no real imapct.
It does not sound like a typical wheel bearing grind. I've recently replaced the shocks and subframe bushings and this didn't seem to change the noise at all.
Does not sound like a wheel bearing grind.
I'd chalk this up to a bushing on one of the suspension parts, but It only seems to happen at speed which is what's throwing me off.
Are there any tips/tricks/tools I can use to try and narrow this down, its hard since I can only replicate the noise at highway speeds.
I've been looking into some type of home brew chassis ear type device but figured I'd post here first for suggestions.
