Clicking sound turning wheel
I recently lowered car with eibach springs and turner spacers. I noticed a clicking sound when wheels are turned nearly all the way but only on right side. I took it back to the shop. They double checked everything to make sure everything is tight and still had the problem. Then they told me to let the springs settle in for a couple hundred miles till the sound goes away. Worst case scenario is a wheel bearing issue. Anyone heard of these clicking sounds before?

Mine was fixed by the shop forman. He re tightened some bolts and nuts here and there and it was caused by the steering rack being loose. Also the sound amplifies on concrete vs smooth slick surface.

Mine also has a continous clicking sound when turning tight. You have any more info on the bulletin?

In my case it was the body flexing against itself and part of the front bumper. Tightened and repositioned things and it's quiet again. Sorry I know that's not very specific but that's how he explained it. |

Clicking sound from front wheels when turning
I've been hearing a clicking sound when turning left (and sometimes right) at low speeds. It's not real loud or particularly scary sounding, but it's been consistent for the past few weeks. I'm considering taking it to the dealer for inspection. Any new information about a possible bulletin or diagnosis?

I'm taking my M2 in for service for this "clicking noise when turning" issue tomorrow (getting consistent metallic clicks when turning in either direction now). I specifically mentioned this thread and the service bulletin. I'll let you know what they find or do to repair it.

Took my M2 w/14,000 miles in to the dealer today to address the ticking noise when turning, which I was able to replicate for them in the dealer's parking lot. Here's what they did, as written in the service invoice:
"Put car on lift, removed both front wheels, calipers and rotors. Sanded off rust from inner surface of rotors. Applied a friction washer between both front wheel hubs and rotor. Re-installed rotors and calipers. Sanded outer surface of rotors to remove rust. Sanded inner ring of front rims. Installed another friction washer between rotors and rims. Torqued wheels and test drove car. No more ticking noise can be heard." Hope this does the trick. Time will tell. |

So I took it to BMW and apparently the suspension hardware was the problem. The bolts were replaced as they were only a one time use and now the noise is officially gone.

Dude not sure what they were feeding you but I have never replaced the hardware when installing springs or coil overs. Just always torque it to spec.... nave had an issue. They probably found something that was not completely tight and just torqued it. Did they charge you?

Regarding ur oversteer... there’s a table of things to do... http://www.morpca.org/drivers-educat...eer-oversteer/
The height of front and different alignment would be easiest for you.... |

I checked my tire pressure today and the rear right tire was under inflated by 2 psi vs the others....haven't drove enough to test out as road was wet. I'm also getting an alignment Tuesday and will let BMW know if they need to stiffen front shocks,sway bars or springs to see if it's the cause. I drove my friends M2 and his steering was lil lighter and more comfortable on turns. |

I got an alignment at BMW and turns out there was a significant enough amount that was off front and rear. The car now feels perfect. The steering wheels feels lighter and turns more comfortably. Also the straight line grip and acceleration has improved too.
