Usual steering knock? Or not?

Joshd63 · 06-08-2018, 02:20 PM

I'm sorry I know this has been covered before but I'm not sure if my car (F32 430d 2015) was produced after the steering rack was apparently updated.

Anyway with the engine off if I wiggle he steering wheel there is a distinct and consistent knock - I've added a video to see what I mean.

It's still under used warranty so it wondering if this is something to get checked or or not.

I should add that the knock is not apparent under any other circumstances.

Cheers

Take it in ASAP. It is more than likely the steering rack.

My car is also a CPO

I just went through this as well.

Massive thanks to everyone on here posting about the steering knock, just got the car back from the dealer after realising that mine had the knock too and they've said that it needs a new rack.

It's still under warranty so hopefully it's covered. I forgot to ask if they'd cover it!
