Keep up the good work. Such a good feeling and you finally get something done.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks mate, will try to do so! Was quite the job

[@zjldmd]

Nice work & congratulations on your fix. Thanks for posting your solution. Happy driving

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks a lot mate

[@moonwalk6404]

Thank you, your funny videos make me a happy person

[@TheHunterHofman]

Good to hear, thanks as alway!

[@simons5758]

Nice one! Finally. So far my m2 being REALLY low dont have this issue running ST XTA plus 3, but once it occurs I know what to do. Keep up the really good videos :)

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks a lot mate, will do! Yeah let’s hope you won’t get the same issue, glad that you’re running that height without issues (as it should be)!

[@TimChump]

Insane wheel clicking fix video Congratulations ! & Thank you I’ll know what to do now if this happens to me 👍

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thank you mate, quite the job!

[@MotoGearTV]

Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into this lol glad you were able to solve it bro!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thank you man, it was quite the job! Look forward to your new BMW content

[@stnnn1992]

Man you must rrrrrrrealy hate that noise 😂. Grats on the fixx and what a great tutorial!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Haha I did, thanks makker

[@bazgab2738]

Very detailed and helpful video. I have been having a hard time identifying this exact issue, but I too have a very pronounced clicking from the front end in my M2 just like you show at the beginning of the video. I suspect my issue is the wheel bearing as mine is corroded like crazy but I am going to just get all the parts listed and freshen up these areas of the car.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks mate, glad that it helps. I also have a part one of this video, check that out too so you have all the information needed, and also drop a subscribe too of course 😉 let me know how things work out for you

[@patgov9402]

Very nice and funny video again! Hard work pays off. 🙏🏻👊🏻🔥 going for the 1 billion views & subs 💪🏻

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks as always buddy!!

[@jmydy]

Wow those clicking sounds were really audible! Thumbs up for great, informative video.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Glad you liked it mate 🫶🏻

[@lomanquirke2744]

You the man hunter..top job mate👌

[@TheHunterHofman]

Appreciate it buddy

[@slonkijippie]

You dropped this 👑

[@TheHunterHofman]

🤙🏻thanks man

[@mattb9807]

Great videos! Congrats on fixing it, my x4m started making same clicking sounds from both front tires…. Yay I hope my knuckles survive

[@TheHunterHofman]

Appreciate it Matt! Good luck with the noise…

[@philippebell]

Good job

[@m3clubracer]

Dude, get a pipe or cheater bar or use a 2nd open end wrench inserted into the closed end portion. You are the only person I have ever seen using new bolts to reapply the caliper. Good job!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Yeah, these days I have a breaker bar; could’ve used that well there. Thanks for the kind words man

[@TUNINGDONERIGHTMX5]

Great job. You earned my subs. What are the torque numbers for the top mount ?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thank you my man, I won’t disappoint. Torque values are at 11:55

[@ya.boi.v]

Love the energy man 🤣, need a little advice from the G, ive got the same clicking noise as that but coming from the rear, any idea to what it might be?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Appreciate it buddy. That clicking noise in the rear? Haven’t heard that before! Having said that, I would go for the springs. Maybe DM me a video so I can take a look and listen to it

[@nedzmtb127]

My Nissan GTR and Audi R8 both suffered with this same clicking noise. All that was required in both cases was to clean the mating faces if the wheel and brake disc and apply a thin layer of copper grease before refitting and re torquing. Might be worth a try before hand.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Weird that other large car companies have these ‘issues’ too. Glad it worked out for you!

[@maxim913]

How are you liking the M performance coilovers ? Are they not to stiff ? Love the m2 videos, just bought a completely stock long beach blue m2. So these are very helpfull

[@TheHunterHofman]

To be honest, I have never driven a stock M2 so I can’t really compare. Having said that, it’s stiff, but not too stiff. I think it’s pretty great actually. You can also adjust it to your liking. I believe mine is lowered 10 mm (compared to stock). Hope that helps buddy (and consider subscribing)!

[@bmw440mppsk6]

Don't have clicking noise or an M2 but loved watching it all. Was anticipating some of your funny stuff which came luckily :)

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks man, means a lot! Will try to keep it up

[@startnow4270]

hahaha leuke video man!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks makker 🤙🏻

[@SO_S55m]

Damn clicking noise!! Ruining lives here 😂 That’s was awesome. Great video!!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Haha thanks man, appreciate it🙌🏻

[@matthewtaylor8727]

Awesome video - do you have links to the parts? Glue kit, bolts, and friction disc?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks buddy; parts numbers are in the description. Hope that helps

[@JJJDR]

Really liked your video, mine is doing that as well. Where did you buy the parts?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I bought all the parts at the (local) BMW dealer. All the part numbers are in the description, hope that helps (and maybe consider subscribing)!

[@nickmah5715]

wonderful, can you share the car part of the sheet in between the car bearing to reduce friction?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Sure mate, I have added the part numbers in the description!

[@producerlawson]

Would you say the repair kit has enough adhesive for both sides, or do I need to buy it twice? I am planning on replacing my control arms at the same time so hopefully I will have plenty of room to get to that pesky final bolt which you struggled with.

[@TheHunterHofman]

The kit does come with enough adhesive, yes. Good luck mate!

[@80884ngan]

Hi, I see you putting jack stands on what looks like the inner end of the LCA. Is it safe? If so, that would make supporting a BMW so much less of a headache.

[@TheHunterHofman]

If you place the jack correctly and still have the jack support the car as well, I would say it’s safe. If you want to do it 100% correctly (which, I’ll admit, I didn’t here) you should have the car rest on jack stands placed under the jack pads (with the right jack pad adapters). As you say, it’s more of a hassle though. For myself, this was a good balance between safety and amount of hassle.

[@chrischen5979]

Hi may I ask you know which grease or Lubricant like BMW repair kit that one ?? is that very sticky like gasket sealant?? Many thanks.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Sure man, it was not like gasket sealant and I wouldn’t recommend that (as the function of the kit is not to seal, but to stick the wheel bearing to the hub (eliminating any room for microscopic movement)). It was like a very sticky glue like grease. A bit like Pritt glue. Hope that helps (and please consider subscribing 😎)

[@extraglutenplz3758]

would turning the wheel to the right allowed you to torque the bolts? seems like it would give you the room for the wrench that way

[@TheHunterHofman]

That’s a good question, haven’t thought of that to be honest. Looks like it would create enough space, yeah

[@mattdman73]

Bro, did you manage to pin point the root cause? The shims or bolts replacement solved the issue?

[@TheHunterHofman]

No, but my guess would be the suspension related parts as the sound only occurred when turning the wheels

[@JaZoN_XD]

Hey there, did this noise ever come back? Also what style wheel is this?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Hi, they’re 437M wheels (19 inch). Haven’t noticed a clicking noise anymore, but haven’t checked anymore to be honest!

[@vermili0138]

Busted knuckles are a sign of a job getting done right lmfao, great job mate.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Appreciate it mate! Considered subscribing?! Got more wrenching on the way (on the M3)

[@joshuafidone]

Really usefull

[@TheHunterHofman]

Anytime man

[@user-nm1bd9qy8z]

well done bro ! I have a same fkn noise 😢

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thank you man. Considered subscribing? :) It's an annoying noise and a pain to get rid of... Let me know if you get it done in the future!

[@SuperHogwart]

did the bearing end up needing to be changed? i recently hit a big rock in the road and am getting an oscillating hum 😟

[@TheHunterHofman]

In my case I don’t think it was the bearing, the bearing is still fine. Your issue doesn’t sound too good! Let me know what the issue ended up being

[@moonwalk6404]

My all time favourite intro on KZbin

[@markbroadheaf1593]

I see you have the adjustable BMW coilovers. They make a HUGE difference ! I hated the original set up.

[@TheHunterHofman]

That was one of the best upgrades on the M2, and they look awesome too.

[@lavonsteele2761]

Hey man good video can we get a part number on the friction disc

[@TheHunterHofman]

Thanks, it’s in the description mate! Can I get a like and subscribe?🫶🏻

[@bryantatrinh]

Is it permanently fixed now? i've tried a couple of the things on that list and the clicking came back a day later :(

[@TheHunterHofman]

Hi mate, I haven’t had any issues anymore, no. I do know that changing out the top mount strut bearings has worked for some people too.

[@petes3571]

Hey man, I have a 2021 m340i and I am also suffering with this issue. It happens whenever I am turning at extremely slow speed like pull out from drive way. I am just wondering if this is detrimental and affects the functionality😢. Thanks for sharing the trick.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Hi man, as far as I have researched, there are no actual damaging effects of this. No known cases of actually affecting any functionalities! Hope that helps and please consider subscribing 🫶🏻

[@petes3571]

@@TheHunterHofman thanks! For sure!

[@mojodog7112]

got the same noise on my M4.Mine does it going straight ,as well and is worse when braking. Will give this a go. Must be a common problem if BMW make a repair kit ?

[@TheHunterHofman]

BMW is aware of this problem, yes. There are multiple service bulletins addressing this issue. Good luck!

[@ip7590]

did you get this sorted if so how? I've got the same issue

[@oswaldotorre6047]

My new series 2 does the same anoying noise, when parking is really notorious! What should I ask dealear to replace, it is new!

[@TheHunterHofman]

If it’s still under warranty, just let them figure it out and let them use my video’s as a guideline I suppose.

[@mg588]

So if you turn the wheel to the left lock or all the way to the right you will get better access to the wheel bearing bolts

[@TheHunterHofman]

True, a lift would even be better

[@AnakinSkysquatter]

Hey @TheHunterHofman you're a pretty tall guy. I am 6 foot 3. I been test driving M2's.. some with sunroof, some without. I found the sunroof'ed version was too close to my head. You're a tall guy.. and it seems to be close to your head.. what made you pick a sunroof'ed M2? Do you regret it sometimes?

[@TheHunterHofman]

Correct, I’m a pretty tall and handsome guy. I’m 6 foot 5. Never regretted the sunroof; love it actually! I also like my electric seats. Having said that, I do wish sometimes I could be a bit lower down. The manual seats would’ve helped with that. It’s also a bit of getting used to in general, no regrets and no issues,

[@AnakinSkysquatter]

@@TheHunterHofman fair enough, geez at 6'5 it must be pretty tight xD do you ever have anyone in the back seats? I could fit into them without the sunroof - with sunroof - no wayy

[@shawnm2597]

If you turn the wheel left or right does it make enough room to get the torque wrench on? anyone know??

[@TheHunterHofman]

I believe so, yes. It would be easier to have this done on a lift (so that the wheels can turn freely)

[@ObiBraun]

Same Problem on my Z4 e89 35i. Same thing on BMW dealership for 600€. Didnt worked :/

[@sungkim742]

I just clean the rust off the hub and rotor hats, polish, and then applied a thin layer of anti-seize. Noise gone.

[@Urk0ZzZ]

Hello, having similar problem, but only happens when the engine and the temperature in general (summer) is hot, did it happen like this too? sorry for my english xd

[@TheHunterHofman]

Interesting, but no, (in my case) it was not temperature related.

[@Urk0ZzZ]

@@TheHunterHofman thanks for answering, i did some research and found my problem is already know by BMW maybe could happen to you too, is this SIB 32 08 19

[@danielstevens6703]

How is his shirt still white!? I get anywhere near the wheels in a white shirt and it's half black.

[@TheHunterHofman]

I’m actually drinking tonight and notice that I have that actual shirt on. It’s not white anymore haha…

[@superlintran]

hahaha 1 Mil club but I'm having the same clicking - almost 90% sure its the wheel bearing since I saw some fluid leaking out from the area when I changed the cv axles which didn't not solve it but solved the clunking though.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Hope this video helps you out a bit! Consider subscribing so I can get to that 2 million club quickly!

[@superlintran]

Already did broskie! Hope everything hold up good

[@idokwatcher2062]

Good job. Now do it again on the right :D

[@TheHunterHofman]

Go check my other video about the clicking noise to see why I only did this side ;)

[@Paul_Holman]

This was all out war with the clicking noise 😂

[@TheHunterHofman]

I was determined to win it💪🏻

[@Properkunt]

Special operation indeed

[@khk7617]

[@TheHunterHofman]

Yes

[@simplelangperorock]

Lmao. Wtf! I like the one-time bolt drama.

[@TheHunterHofman]

He just had to go…

[@mstar501]

I always get a bit itchy seeing people using a steel wire wheel cleaning aluminum parts...

[@TheHunterHofman]

I understand, but for whatever it's worth, the wire wheel I used was brass (and therefore a bit softer than a steel wire wheel).

[@Pearl3Drummer]

The discs should have been in there to begin with.

[@TheHunterHofman]

Some BMW’s do get these discs from official dealerships, yes

[@venomhelix2729]

So overall there’s nothing wrong with the car, even if I keep the car this way besides the noise been annoying there’s nothing harmful.

[@TheHunterHofman]

It won’t be harmful indeed mate

I can hear his struggle behind the music.

Will do mate

[@user-od1bs4yi6m]

Next time use a breaker bar

[@TheHunterHofman]

Yeah, actually now doing a similar job on the M3 (with a breaker bar, way easier).

[@davidelliott3099]

Pretty sure all you need to replace is the pinch bolts, this is a very common issue if you do not replace the pinch bolts when doing any suspension work.

[@Properkunt]

My supra having the same issue! Try telling a Toyota dealer the bmw problems is like having a ash tray on a motorbike. 🖕🏿Toyota

[@TheHunterHofman]

haha no way, they took copying a BMW a bit too serious
