Strange sounds after HVBJB replacement

[RMoore]

I had my HVBJB replaced this past Thursday as part of the recall and also had my tires rotated. I now hear a strange new sound that I'm pretty sure wasn't there before. It's a low pitched rattling sound that seems to come from around my passenger side rear tire area, almost like some rocks bouncing around in something. I checked my trunk and nothing in there would make this sound (at it was there without anything in the trunk). I only hear it at very low speeds (around 5 MPH) and on roads that are a bit more bumpy than a very smooth paved road. And when I make a turn at slow speeds there is now what sounds like a rubbing sound from that same area. I think it would be difficult to capture these on my phone but I had my daughter and a friend sit in the back seats and they did hear both of these noises. I'll try to have someone listen from outside the car when I get a chance. Any thoughts? I'll probably need to bring it back in for them to look at but was wondering if anyone else had something similar happen.

I had a very similar result from my HVBJB replacement. To me it sounded like a roulette ball bouncing around the wheel just before settling. I brought it back. They solved the problem in about 10 minutes. Apparently there was a nut?, bolt? Bouncing around loose back there and removed said bolt. The unanswered question - was it a dropped and replaced bolt or a missing bolt?

Interesting, and thanks for the info. Did you hear an odd scraping/rubbing noise with turns at low speeds?

No, just the marble bobbling sound. I’m sure that one bolt could cause both depending on where it’s lodged.
