Odd sounds coming from the rear of our 01 cobra
The wife's cobra has been parked for awhile. Got it out today to take the kid to school and noticed that there are some odd squeaks coming from the from the right rear. Seems rotation related as the more speed you get up the more prominent the noises are.
Could this be a halfshaft? If I remember correctly, there were some odd bumps/knocks coming from that area the night we parked it a couple of months ago.

check to see if your bearings have play in them the cant be packed guess thats why they r so cheap but they have to be pressed in and out already replaced mine not even 50,000 mile but o'rielys has them. my right side was bad i just did both sides.

on the irs the hub(the part that has the lug studs) it presses into the bearing those have any slack jack it up and see if you get any play in the wheel moving! i found mine while changing my street tires to my drag radials.

I drove the BMW enough to ruin my hub. . . but I also put over 5,000 interstate miles on it after I started noticing the noise. ![]()
