Clunking noise front left

[Nicdez]

Hi all

I'm after some advice. I have a clunking sound from the front left of my 2011 2.4 E89 when driving. I've replaced the bottom front and bottom (front) rear strut, drop link and refreshed the ARB, tie rod end as well. Also tightened the diagonal strut mounts on the engine. All other bolts are tight, the wheel is good with no rocking which suggests the wheel bearing is ok. I am getting to a bit of a loss and think it may the top mount on the suspension.

Does anyone think it could be any other issue?

many thanks and cheers

Nic

Interesting they didn't make many 2.4 E89s..that may be your problem?

The top hat is the logical next step..how many miles has your 2.4 done?

Thanks B21, it's on 92k miles. I think you are right about the engine it's a 23i.

I guess it top mounts, so that will be a nice job for the next few weeks.

Cheers

Can you make a short video with the noise? And it isn’t obvious, point to the source of the noise?

My knocking noise happened when one of these brackets broke. I see you mention you'd refreshed the ARB though.
