Have any of you all replaced these on your E60: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...nt-31336760943

I've been getting some noise predominantly while making left turns. I've had both the upper and lower control arms replaced within the past 2000-3000 miles and I really doubt those are the issue.

I've been chasing a vibration while braking as well...would worn out strut mounts cause anything like that aside from the popping/crunching that happens during turns?

 

The link is broken but I guess it is a strut mount.

Is the noise there only while turning the wheel?

 

I replaced my shock mounts when I replaced my shocks as a preventive maintenance.
As for vibrations while braking, I changed many many parts until I found the problem.

Can you describe the noise better? Could be a bad wheel bearing and it might explain the vibration while braking also.

What is the mileage on your car?

 

When you lift the car for flat tire to be replaced and whole steering knuckle falls off because upper mount does not hold, you will know it is time. Happened to me, both sides,front.

 

ripley, yeah, it is a strut mount. And yes, it's only when making a left turn. As I steer out of the turn, it pops again as if it's settling. Really doesn't make the sound while making right turns.

What's interesting is that if I push down on the vehicle above the strut, I don't get any noise. When I lift the front driver side with my jack, as it begins to droop, I get noise. Perhaps the struts are due for replacement.

dragon, the noise is just a typical suspension pop. As the suspension loads up while making left turns it makes a pop pop pop sound.

 

Could be strut or mount I guess, if your car has high k and your know your shocks are getting soft/leaking, just replace them, not a hard job to do and change the mounts at the same time.

Could also be a loose bold somewhere on the suspension/subframe.
If you have an IX, (I don't know year and model or mileage of your car) it could be a 1/2 shaft but you would have more of a growling noise.

 

Mine is RWD. I'm going to have it looked at some time next week so I'll definitely check for loose bolts underneath when it's on a lift.
