Quote from BMW Repair reference:



E53



Complaint:
Rattling noises from the area axle



Causes:
Lower spring support for the rear coil springs comes loose from mounting. This means coil springs is no longer guided and causes rattling noises.

It isnt so much a rattling noise, but a horrible squeak noise when turns or made and the such

Action: bought the spring pads from dealer and have a mechanic replace the pads.

Result: lower the squeaking noise, yet not enough to eliminate it, still hear when driving in highway.

Following thoughts: probably should have replaced the whole thing: springs, upper pads, lower pads, guiding caps, nuts and bolts.

Try to spray rear bolt joint with WD40. Did it yesterday and noise is gone.
