Clicking noise coming from front right wheel when making left

Jmoney · 04-15-2013, 07:46 PM

For some reason, when i turn left, the front right wheel makes a clicking noise. I don't know what this is and when i took it to bmw, they could not replicate the noise.. does anyone have this same issue and figure out the issue? I felt like it was the wheel bearing but i cannot be too sure.

Very common "issue" with our cars. Do a search and you'll find some threads on it. Not sure what causes it either, and I think the consensus is that it is normal. When I put the ///M suspension bits on my car and changed out the shocks, this noise disappeared. Not sure what that means other than it could be related to the stock suspension.

A wheel bearing will make constaint noise that varies with speed strait or turning may vary a bit under side load but should have constaint noise. Other possibilities are loose lugs along with say if you painted your wheels that can do it also. Wheel weight hitting tie rod but that is very uncommon but have seen it.
