Fluttering noise, possible from front wheel

[andy21996]

Hi guy,

I recently just installed Eibach 25 mm spacers on al 4 wheels. I am also lowered and it is not rubbing if I am driving normally, only rubbing a little bit if I do wide turn when over a dip or bumper.
But I am hearing this faint fluttering noise, like I am driving on leaves. I think its coming from the front left wheel, the noise is more noticeable if I am driving close to a curb to the left, could it be rubbing? but I doubt it.
Anyone know what could that be? I torqued the spacers to specs, 120-125 lbs and wheels to spacers 150 lbs. Everything look intact from the outside, might need to take off the wheel to see.

Thank you

Wheel bearing (that is more stressed with spacers)?
Shocks?

Does the sound change with speed? Or with road texture/bumps?

Take the spacers off and see if the noise goes away. Simple troubleshooting 101 - If a problem arises from a modification, remove the modification and see if the problem persists.

Rule #2 of the Novice DIY - Perform one mod at a time and verify everything is good before adding more mods.
