I recently had the steering rack replaced on my car (535d LCI with Active Steering)since this I now have a slight noise when turning the wheel to the 3 O'clock position it sounds like a very mute boing. Anyone else have this? it's not that noticable with the stereo on, and non existent when turning anticlockwise to 9 O'clock

The dealer filled the power steering resevoir as it was below the dipstick and claimed all was good, I don't think it's made any difference.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

I do have a similiar noise coming out of the steering wheel, kinda like a muted grinding noise. It's the same thing that was fixed 2 yrs ago.
After reading my notes from the dealer, it looks like it was the rack-n-pinion. They performed a steering flush and procedure recommended from PUMA.
It worked ....until now!

Interesting, the noise I have is almost the same as tapping the horn.

I have the same issue, I just purchased a 2007, 530i-Automatic. The BMW Service dep't is telling me that it has to do with the drive shaft and that should be replaced est. cost about 850/USD.

Is this the fix that I should do, or check other options? Has anyone had any better results?
