I'm having an issue with rear end grinding noise coming from the driver's side rear driver side wheel. It's a very low pitched grinding sound when your coasting at 20-30 mph. When I drove by a large concrete wall it reverberated quite loudly. You can hear it better driving with hte door open. I also had a friend open the passenger side door when I was drivign and the sound is not there.

background: I just bought this 2001 Boxster S with 56k on it. Brand new brakes, just had all the boots done last week including the driver side wheel bearing.

I brought it back to the indy who did it (they specialize in porsche racing) and he said he never heard the sound on a boxster before, he did test drive it. He wants me to bring it back in so he can tear it down. After 1700 for the boots, 4 wheel alignment, wheel bearing, brake flush, and 60k maintenance i'm afraid he is going to come back with something new. Maybe he messed the job up by accident and wants a chance to fix it and charge me?

Does the IMS/RMS problems affect the Boxster S's?
