I just bought a 2002 4.4 X5 I noticed the spare tire does not have the center nut that holds it. I think thats the noise i hear all the time when driving.
Also the rubber thing that goes around the jack is ripped. I guess i will need to get these 2 things so i can stop the noise. Its not a big deal if the radio a little loud, but thats not the point.

I will go ahead and contact mu friend at the dealer to see if he can hook me up with those little parts.

Any suggestions??

thanks guys. I am a new user so be patient.
