Knocking during turning

orwinst · 11-03-2018, 08:22 PM

Hey guys
Wanted to get your opinion here... maybe you guys can shed some insight for me. I have a 2014 335xi and I just swapped my winters from summers this morning at a place here in the gta. However, driving home now I noticed every time I turn left (only left) I get a rattle/clunk coming from the drivers front wheel. I’ve never had this before, and definitely never had it before changing tires/wheels today.

Any thoughts on what this could be?

Are you on coil overs? Spacers? Any damage to wheel/tire? New tires installed but poor balancing job? Could be many things...did you have chance to redo that one corner (remove and reinstall wheel and torque to spec)?

Good luck!

Check if the metal rotor cover do not touch anything.

Hey thanks for the reply - I’m not on spacers or could - all stock.

I did check and couldn’t find anything rubbing or grinding or touching the rotor.

I will try to remove and re install the tire. If that doesn’t work I will call the shop but still confused why it’s happening

This is happening to me right now as well.

I think the weather change might have messed with the psi in my front tires.
I’m going to drop s few lbs and see if it stops.

I had this happen on my wife's car a while ago, and it was one of the weights on the wheel hitting the control arm. Has the tire shop replace it with two smaller weights that were lower profile, and it went away.

hey guys found out the issue, turns out they installed the wheels incorrectly (and swapped the front for the back, and back for the front) and was causing the rubbing while turning.
