Clicking Noise under hard cornering from front wheels

euro · 10-23-2009, 08:54 AM

Im getting a clicking noise when cornering fairly agressive from medium speeds and up. If you can roll the windows down and not apply any throttle mid corner and just listen you hear clicks coming from the wheels on both sides of the car.

Its a pattern, not a random click, click, pause, click click click.

its a steady clicking 'ticking' sound that is related to speed same noise from both front wheels.

Anybody else?

Well I dont know, it might be pretty nooby to say this but. The same thing was happening to me in the Cayenne. I would be driving and would not hear anything, but then i would turn agressively and I would hear this clicking sound coming from the right bottom side of the car. Porsche just installed new tires on the rims so they must have taking the rims off the car. I got home and noticed that the rims was actually hitting against the brakes. Quite scary thinking about it, driving with a loose wheel but maybe give that a shot.

In the M3 i havent had any problems persists such that you have.

Thats my $.000002

Sounds like your brake rotor covers buddy (behind the rotors; you can see them thru the wheels); they apparently deform under hard cornering. There's a TSB (or ISB in BMW parlance?) for that. The problematic ones are silver in color. The improved ones are black. Forgot when they were replaced by the factory, but a quick glance at your wheels should tell you. Hope this helps.
