Strange clicking from front wheels when turning in '14 M235i (MP3 included).
At low speeds when making a partial or full turn in either direction, a clicking noise emanates from the front wheels.
After two days in the shop, the dealership replaced a steering column switch or clockspring and lubricated some things in the front wheels themselves, but said that the sound is normal. I have 15k miles on the car and this noise just appeared maybe 300-500 miles ago. In the MP3 file below, I'm driving at low speeds turning in one direction in a cul de sac with the steering wheel locked. The audio is recorded from outside the vehicle using a mobile phone as I drive past. http://picosong.com/juA4 Any ideas what this could be? |

There is a SIB about that SI B34 08 14: Ticking Noise from Front Axle When Cornering
SITUATION The customer may complain of a ticking noise from the front axle when cornering, maneuvering, parking or pulling away from a parking space. The noise can be heard as a light metallic ticking from the front outer cornering wheel. CAUSE Movement between the brake disc and wheel bearing hub. CORRECTION Remove and clean the front axle brake discs. Sand the hub surface on the brake disc to the wheel bearing hub using 80-grit sandpaper. Sand the surface in a radial motion (inside to outside around the surface. Clean the wheel bearing hub surface. Important!! Do not sand the hub surface. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the components surface (wheel bearing or brake disc). Reinstall the front axle brake discs. |
