Anyone else getting clicking from front end?

Chad11491 · 08-11-2022, 05:19 PM

FWIW my mustang had M14 studs and the factory spec was 150ftlb on the lugs. I’d feel just fine torquing the same size to 125. I remember people complaining about brake noise on the cars who hadn’t torqued to spec because 150 is a ton if you’re used to the normal ~100. Glad that resolved your issue because I’ve been hesitant on lowering my car with so many saying they had noises start afterwards.

I'm going to try mine and see if the noise goes away in rear. Not noticing the sound in the front tbough.

BIGW0RM · 08-24-2022, 03:00 PM

Just wanted to say that I tried 125lb or torque on my lugs and I still click. It made no change at all for me. Bummer.

Im going to remove my spacers next and see what happens.

Bummer man, I hope you figure it out!

Yep mine clicks all the time when turning and pulling out of the garage and it's bone stock. I figured it's just part of flexing in the underbody somewhere

kjx · 08-30-2022, 10:15 PM

Has anyone captured this clicking on video? Like someone standing outside the car recording? I don't have any clicking - completely OEM setup.

BIGW0RM · 09-19-2022, 06:04 PM

Anyone seen a dealer about the clicking yet? I haven't had a chance to ask them about it yet.

Yes I was months ago...
This is very well known on the F8X and there was a fix for that. I had the same issue on my M2, so the Dealer knows what's about as they fixed it on the M2. But currently the fix that was applied on the F8X is not approved for the G8X (yet).

Ah good to know. Thank you. I had it on my F80 M3 after lowering, but it was a strut bolt issue for me on that one.

Whatever it is on my G80, I sure hope to find a fix for it sooner than later. Im sick of hearing it.

Yes I get you…once you hear it, you always will and it's annoying. The good thing at least is that it's not causing any damage or issues, so an annoying „cosmetic" thing for now.

BIGW0RM · 02-14-2023, 02:52 PM

Bumping this. Anyone else add some F80 friction disks? Did it help?

BIGW0RM · 05-04-2023, 04:15 PM

Hey, where is that BMW SIB someone posted that supposedly fixes this? I cant find that thread anywhere now.

The SIB was about replacing tie rods out due to a problem with a certain brand they used.

Yo, glad it worked for you bro!

BIGW0RM · 05-16-2023, 01:55 PM

Bumping this. Here is the most updated BWM SIB about the clicking. They suggest the tie rods are to blame. I am friends with my dealers shop foreman. He said my VIN was affected by this, but he could not swap mine out unless I brought the car in stock. Im on KW HAS.

So for those who have this sound. Call your service advisor and tell him about this SIB and see if you can get the new tie rods.

I’ve gotten my tie rod ends replaced, and I still hear the ticking. I usually hear it while turning at low speeds (x-point turns, reverse, etc), but I noticed it today on a mountain drive while cornering decently hard (both sides)

Held a constant steering angle and speed, and I heard rapid metallic clicks.
I’m going to try turning up my lug torque to ~110 to see what happens

Stock suspension, Motorsports Hardware Studs/Nuts, and 15F spacers. Stock wheels and stock lug torque at the moment

Just tighten your lugs to 125

static_void · 07-21-2023, 01:31 PM

Anyone ever figure this out? Just noticed the same on my G80 while driving through a parking garage with the windows down. Lowered on KW's HAS kit, 12mm Future Classic spacers all the way around. I thought I had a pebble/rock/nail in my tire but nope, just seems like the same thing everyone else is reporting.

Rux · 07-23-2023, 12:14 PM

They ordered me new rods for the front. I am sure that fixing the overtorqed nut will fix most issues however I am told they replace them due to possible damage that might have occurred.

This is an SB and how they could ever deny a fix due to lowering is insane. But you know, BMW.
