Hi all,

Need some advice.... car is making a bad noise when steering....

You can hear it in this video:



Any ideas what it could be & would it be covered under BMWs extended comp warranty?

Cheers

I had same creaking noise, was fixed last week under warranty at BMW free of charge, worksheet said "lubricate lower steering bush", all sorted now.

Hmm, mine does something similar, usually only when going from lock to lock while stationary or at low speeds, but i've no idea what a "steering bush" is...

Almost all the suspension/steering joints on these cars are either sealed or arent something that you'd lubricate.

I figured it was a bad top mount bearing on mine.

Oh..... sounds like it's def a warranty job then!?

if you've got one you might as well use it? Whats the point otherwise!

I want an idea to the cause before taking it in..... as you'll get told all kinds of BS!

It is a lubrication fix & not covered under warranty! Neither is the other fault I have - belt causing a noise on car start up!

But they did find a leak from the rear axle which is covered..... swings & roundabouts
