Rattle after springs, wheels, & tires

j2edwards · 05-29-2016, 10:44 PM

Just added Dinan springs to my '13 335 xdrive. Also added 18x8.5 wheels and 245/40 tires. Now I get this weird rattle, sounds like metal on metal sound when I'm driving at low speeds. I know everything was put back exactly as it came off. I'm taking tomorrow to get aligned and hoping it's just the sway bar or something that will get adjusted with the alignment, but wondering if anyone else has had this same problem.

Ever figure out your Dinan spring rattle? Did the alignment do any good?

Yep, it wasn't the springs, which I think are fantastic btw, but it was the sway bar. The torx bolt worked loose. I got under and retightened everything and all good.
