Clunk After Lowering G42

BabyM240i · 03-25-2024, 01:08 PM

Any thoughts what this rattle/clunk is on what sounds like the front right of my G42? Had a highly recommended shop install my Dähler lowering springs. It's pretty mild, only 1 inch. Springs were Installed on Friday and this clunk/rattle developed shortly before I got home today Monday after driving quite a bit this weekend. Now, it's persistent and happens on all bumps and when I jump on the driver door lol. I pushed and pulled on everything I could and the only thing making any noise at all while under the car seems to be the wheel/axel when rotated but it seems within norms from what I can tell on the internet. Checked bolts up at the strut mount as well and nothing seems loose. Thoughts?

Fixed. Loose sway bar end link on the shock body.

Actually, not fixed. Sound returned.

Going to explore if it’s related to this:

SIB 32 01 23
CRACKING/CREAKING NOISE FROM FRONT AXLE/STEERING
SYSTEM

Need to verify which power steering system I have… TKPS or JTEK EPS. I can feel the “noise” in the steering wheel now.

Also going to verify brake bolts etc. All suspension related bolts have been checked and double checked. To include a full alignment.
