Ten bolts are great... Please help The car is basically a dd, with occasional trips to the 1/4. and I get on it every now and again. it's a M6 and the specifics are in my sig. I am hearing a "whomping" noise, sounds simular to a flat spot on a tire (which the back two are new) even when i'm pulling out of the parking lot I can hear it a little. The sound get worse at 35 mph and above. I have a mild vibration at 65 mph. I can feel it in the seat, and the wheel shakes a little two. ALSO there is wear on the pass side wheel well. Like the tire is hitting It's wearing away the under coating in one spot. Thanks for the help/
how new are the tires did they just recently get put on, out of balance tires will cause a "shimmey" at that speed. jack her up and take a good look at everything, hopefully its nothing big, is performance affected at all or is just noise and slight feel?

It's worth a shot, it's probably one of the cheapest things you could do besides turn up the radio.

I put the new axle in the pass side, w/ a new berring and axle seal, no changes, the axle had scratches on the coned part of the old axle. Could it be the driver side axle, maybe bad shocks? or output shaft on the trans?

Did this start after the new tires? If so it could be a out of round tire. Even know it is new it happens all the time. I would jack her up and put her on jack stands and put it into gear and with the help of a second hand look and listen.

I jacked the car up, put it into second, and you could see the wheel on the driverside going up and down, (slightly) you could also hear a noise coming from that side as well. Could both axles be bad, and if they are is it worth replacing? I mean I have already replaced the pass. side. could it be something else that is tearing up the axles?
