Anybody get a loud/throaty/vibrating road-noise from the rear at high speed? I'm thinking vibrating spoiler wing but that wouldn't make sense... Are these things just loud at high speeds? Tire noise? Should I use Dynamat? :help:

No noises here. sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing, or like you said a body piece coming loose.

Could be tire noise too. A wheel out of balance maybe. A wheel bearing would be more "wum wum wum wum" and gets faster and the wheel rotates. How's your alignment? If you have time take off both rear wheels and make sure all the bolts everywhere on the brakes, suspension, etc are tight. I had a very loud noise one time and it turned out my caliper bolt backed itself out and fell out and the other was on its way...scary stuff

Thanks all for responding. Will have alignment checked.

Bump....what was the outcome?

I have a hummm coming from the rear that gets louder at high speeds. Guessing its the wheel bearing and wondering if I can repair DYI instead of taking it in
