Front end suspension help
Hi guys, need some advice whats going on. I recently replaced control arms, sway bar links, tie rod ends and struts. Had it aligned. Drove nicely again like new. But for last couple weeks steering feels so soft, steering wheel is slightly to the left and sometimes when I hit bumps or potholes I can hear loud knock from the left.. I was thinking go the the shop where I did the alignment to have them check it out but asking for ideas here first. I was thinking if strut mount coz I didnt put new ones. That could be the knock noise over bumps but dont thnks so about soft feel steering. Thank you in advance for ideas
Edit. Forgot to mention its 2014 f30 328i 140k miles on it right now |

Yea sh*t 😡🤦*♂️ I am hitting myself to the head because of that now.. dont really want to do that again.. 😂 but you think it could be the culprit even for the soft feel in the steering? I did some research and maybe the steering rack thrust could be the reason. With 140k miles 🤷*♂️

https://www.ebay.com/itm/40449233160...mis&media=COPY If you didn’t replace this thrust piece already then this should take care of your knocking problem. Easy fix. This piece puts pressure on the steering rack and will get worn down hence the light steering. Also after all new parts and an alignment and your car is still pulling…. check your wheel bearings for play, make sure all tire treads are equal or very close(I changed one tire on my f30 and I have a pull to the right now on that side), also I didn’t see inner tie rods on your list I think so that could be something to address as well 🫡 |
