Banging in the front part

alex1991 · 03-29-2020, 09:51 AM

Well, for a couple of months now, I've had a problem with banging in the front right (and more recently, in the left) wheel, only when crossing larger holes. I'm 100% sure it comes from the lower front of the car, the lower one
I decided to fix it so I started changing part by part.
1. Anti Roll Bar
2. Lower control arm
3. Upper control arm
And no luck, the sound is still there ...
All I have left to do is change tie rods, but I'm not sure that could be the cause...

I had a similar issue with a slight knock/rattle when hitting small bumps at low speed, dealer checked, stated all suspension was ok and tight. I replaced the struts, noise/rattle went away, 57,000 miles and back shocks and front struts were shot already. 2014 BMW X128i
