Clunking noise nearside

[Dean'o]

Hi all, I know this topic has been covered in previous threads, but I am really struggling. I have replaced the lot.
Control arms
Inner and outer tie rod
Drop links
Top strut mounts.
Even the steering rack that had play in it.
Only get noise when you kick the front of tyre. Check for bearing play can't feel any. But the whole wheel does wobble forwards to backwards slightly.

[ref]Dean'o[/ref], Long shot but take the wheel off, have it face down and get a socket that just fits in the wheel stud hole (as tight as possible) and see if any of them are different sizes/shapes. Could be an insufficiently tightened stud has been moving around and stretched or distorted the stud hole.

As in a socket that fits all the holes like the one in the red circle as well/tightly as possible, make sure they’re all the exact same fit/shape

That's a very good suggestion, appreciate that. They are second hand mv3 alloys off a 3 series m sport. Will try it and get back to. Cheers.

Have tried the above, wheel seems ok. Even though I have replaced everything new the wheel seems to still have a bit of play when you kick front of tyre but no play in bearing from side to side.
I am thinking if its where the rack is mounted.
Not sure if it's bushes or not what the rack is bolted too.

I’d take the tire and rotor off and check your hub out. Also retighten the control arms and sway links while you’re down there, this reeks off a loose nut on one of those two IMO

All sorted loose bolts into chassis that hold lollipop bush in. All tightened up now, lot easier with car on lift
