pop sound from streeing
 

hello everyone when the car is running and i steer from left to right there is like a clicking or a popping sound coming from the engine bay. when the car is off and i shake the wheel it makes a clicking like something is lose any help please :(

there was a defect on , i think 2001 built x5 whereby the steering linkage gets loose . also , some models had the brake pedal fall off ( American build quality , apparently ) .
not trying to scare you but have it checked out to see if your x was recalled or if it is one of the affected builds .
you might find info if you click on how to`s at top of page then click E53 tips and search from there . I`m sure the defective production dates and chassis numbers are there.
also, have you had recall for front airbag control module yet?

thanks pal great help ill look now. and as for the airbag yes have you ant taken mine in yet whats it all about

hey where can i find the recall info please
