Road noise/vibration in rear 2016 X1

Road noise/vibration in rear 2016 X1

I’ve got a 2016 X1 that seems to have some sort of sympathetic vibration occurring in the rear. (All in KM/h) It’s quiet up to about 40, loud at 40-50, quieter at 60-70, louder at 80-90, quieter at 100, loud again 110-120…

The bearings seem fine, brakes are in good shape, brand new tires, the diff is dry and I believe to be okay (let it roll at speed in neutral).

Interestingly, I’d originally pinpointed the sound to the rear right, but I solved that by removing a walnut I found lodged against the dust plate.

I’d also add that I bought new tires last week, and asked the guy if he could take a look while it was up on the hoist - he also said everything looked good, and I left hoping/assuming the new tires would solve the noise (the old ones were cupping a bit)

This all brings me back to that guy in the picture; should I be able to wiggle that diff vibration absorber around? It’s not flapping about, but there’s definitely play in it

About 25 years ago, L&M opened its first store in my city and they had a brand new CAR MIJ Jazzmaster (which I now know was an extreme rarity for the Canadian market). I was instantly in love, but couldn’t afford it; I figured I’d just get one later… then it took them 20 years to come back…

I’d been pretty in love with this colour scheme since the day it dropped and thought I’d find a used one - never happened and then catching wind that these were discontinued I pulled the trigger and couldn’t be happier!
