Low Speed Vibration 4.8is

Post by ch945823 » Wed Dec 07, 2011 2:34 pm

Hi to all ive just purchased my 1st X5, its a 04' 4.8is done 78k.
Overall im v.pleased with the vehicle but it does have one minor niggle that has baffled me :?

When the vehicle is cold & has been parked up I get a low speed rumble coming through the transmission, it sounds like a wheel bearing whir but the after a mile or so the rumble goes away & I can just feel a slight vibration through the transmission. Ive had the vehicle raised & running in drive but can't seem to pinpoint the problem.

Ive read many threads and think the problem could lie in a wheel bearing or maybe the front diff! Before I start dismantling the vehicle has anyone else had a simalar problem?

Thanks Carl.
