BAWBAG 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 Here's one that may or may not have been asked before... Whenever I'm driving around the CBD of the roaring metropolis that is the town of blenheim , I can hear this rattling /clunking sound from front passenger side ESPECIALLY driving over those feckin' speed bumps ....Weird thing is that ONLY i can hear it!! Passengers just look at me blankly when I start raving about it....thing is when I put air in the tires the other day(32 front and rear) IT JUST GOT LOUDER :banghead: One of you erudite bimmerphiles :bowdown: out there will be smirking reading this,so c'mon and put this newbie out of his misery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BAWBAG 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 Hmm...i had thought that might be it ...kinda strange that a few mechanically - minded folks i know never suggested i check that... Hope I didn't come across as too much of a stupid cnut asking that question!! Thanks m8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 front inner ball joint worn, or outer. jack up the front end and wiggle the sh*t out of your control arms find out what is loose i'm pretty sure it'll be the inner balljoint. $100 for a whole new control arm with both ball joints (not incl labour) do both sides and you'll be sweet for another 15 years :thumb: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
