    2008 - 328Xi front axle noise when backing and applying brakes (is this normal)

    161,000 miles on my 328Xi drive.

    for the past 5 months or so the (4X4!); ABS; BRAKE lights pop on and off.

    I have noticed a chattering noise/vibration when backing out the the garage/driveway when applying the brakes.
    This noise/vibration is NOT felt/heard when in DRIVE.

    Today I checked the calipers and they appeared to be secure.

    When rotating the front wheels back and forth I do hear a noise further up the axle.

    Posted 2 videos of both front wheels on Youtube.

    Is this noise normal?

    What are some possible reasons for the chattering/vibration when in Reverse and applying brakes?

    Thanks,

    Mike
