Binding/popping/clunking noise
 

alright guys I have a 06 4.8is im having issues with. when driving Ive noticed a binding on the left side when turning to the right up a slight hill traction light comes on each time. also noticed clunking sound when going over pot holes (that I couldn't miss) I have done my research and found that it comes down to the sway bar end links being bad and needing replaced. so I replaced them... as well as the wishbones, lower ball joint, and tension joint on both sides. tightened everything to spec and still getting same thing. also including popping now when turning at times either side. Im lost and cant think of anything else that needs to be changed. has anyone experienced this that can point me in the right direction?

thanks for the help

Could be a bad wheel bearing.

That's very possible. thanks.

Have you checked the bearing that sits on top of the spring/shockabsorber(strut mount bearing)? Dont know the name for the part in english

Strut mount bearing will do it. ;)

It's called several different things, like top mount, strut bearing etc.

*edit* BMW call it a "UPPER SPRING POCKET W/AXIAL CAGE BEARING".

Classic CV joint issue. Probably drivers side. Easy to fix.

E53cruiser,

Did you ever get this issue resolved? I'm running into the same issue. Only thing left to replace is the tie rod.
