Rear vibration issue

x3drive · 07-22-2022, 03:42 PM

Hi all,

I hear intermittent vibration noise at the right rear of my X3 (XDrive28i, 128K miles, 2013) whenever I go over a small bump and take my foot off the accelerator pedal at a lower speed (less than 10-20 miles).
Which parts do you think I should check? Thanks!

I'd start with suspension. Springs specifically. I had a right rear spring fail at 140 km. Dealership indicated springs are a common issue in the X3.

Thanks so much for the comment! I didn't look them up yet.
But I think you are absolutely right.
Thinking about it again, the vibration sound is like the sound of a spring bouncing.
I will update what's wrong after I check them up soon.
Thank you!
