728besitzer 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Hello... When I reverse the car out of a car park with the steering wheek cranked all the way to one side I get a nasty clanking noise that I assumed would be a CV ball joint... but the parts guys at BMW tell me there is no such thing on the front of a beamer... any ideas here? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted August 17, 2014 Please dont be offended... but if you didnt already know that your car doesnt have front CVs and can therefore rule it out before posting here or asking BMW, i suggest that you give you car to a proper mechanic that knows what they are doing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1071 Report post Posted August 22, 2014 If the noise is absolutely from the front, then there is still any number of things it could be, the obvious ones ebing something in the front suspension. Someone who knows what to look for would need to take a good look around: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
