IS the 05 model year prone to rear wheel bearing noise/failure?
Got an 05 E55 with 60K on the clock,I have a road speed noise from the back end,THought it was the driveshaft and or carrier bearing but all is well there,im tending to thinkg rear wheel bearing,i wil get it on a lift monday and check,the noise has been there for the 2000 miles i have owned the car and is not getting worse.but its not right either.
Just wondering if its common to have bad wheel bearings and or rear diff bearings going bad
THanks
