    Default Rear tires thumping?

    WHen I started driving my car again after the accident, i noticed that on hard accelerations, the rear tires make a thumping noise until i let off the gas. I replaced the tires, so it wasn't bad tires. It feels like the tires are spinning. What could this noise be?

    I looked for the flex disc on BavAuto.com and they only have it for the manual tranny.

    I also sometimes hear a fast ticking sound under my center console.

    So I guess i'll go ahead and buy the center bearing.

    If you're talking about my hood, that's because i haven't got my new roundel yet. The one that was on that hood was deteriorated, also i'mnot putting it on until i get it painted.

    Guibo and center support bearing

    Give bavauto a call rather than using website, they can find the flex disc for you I'm sure they got it
