Exclamation Squicking sound from the rear suspension
I have a 2002 X5 3.0 and for the last two weeks I have had a squicking sound from the right rear suspension. This started only when going over speedbumps but is now getting worse the last few days. If the car stands still and I try to "shake it only a bit" the same noise appears!!!! What could it be?

Sorry to bring this one back, but I have the same noise, and the simple statement of "bushings" doesn't help me. Which bushings would this be / which ones should I replace?

Thanks in Advance!

Got te same problem, for the past 6 months, no one can tell me what it is after visiting BMW repair center and local mechanics. One actually made me change the rear upper control arm. $500 later, I still got he same freaking sound .

CV Joint. Also a possibility that it's making the noise. It's super hard to pin point exactly where it's comming from, except for the corner (eg Rear left).

I had the same problem, what they did for me at the dealer was inject some grease into my ball joints? I hope that makes sense? But whatever it is it stopped right away. I also sprayed some Lube all over the control arms all things that move up and down and side ways... LOL. I haven't had a problem since. I hope this made some sense to someone. GL
