Suspension loose

[mikel85]

Hi,
i own a 135i and every time i hit a bump i hear a shaking noise close to the passenger door or under the door like a shake like something is loose noise
Is that under the 4 yr warranty ?
what do you think it is ?
i hear that this thing is common on the 135i like the loose noise squeaking kinda thing?

It should be under the warranty...go have it looked at...doesn't sound normal.

Eh? You heard that things coming loose and making banging noise is common? Where did you hear that? I call BS.

What is it? Blown struts will make noises like that, if the center shaft has no gas pressure it'll flop around. Busted or loose anti-roll bar links could do it. I've even had anti-roll bar bushings make noises that sound like clunks, as they grip / let go of the bar itself.

Get under there and have a look. Or drive over a bump in a parking lot or something really slowly and have a friend see if they can narrow things down. Preferably one that's changed springs / struts or similar and has some idea of what they are looking at.
