every time something is wrong with my e60 its always you that helps me whether its in the facebook forum or googling my issue. preciate all the helpful videos you are making.

[@pokedude104]

had a similar thing with my car, in the front brakes the caliper pins had seized and you'd hear a little clunk every time the wheel went around when braking. It had been making clunking noise before that over bumps and It was only when it consistently happened while braking that it confirmed a brake issue. Got the pins replaced and no more clunking. Always nice to find out its a simple non expensive issue when you thought it would be worse

[@armandoortiz6943]

Soon as you were able to move the brake component, i knew it was that. Great video and I hope all else is well.

[@0m4rpakisolja]

I had all my brake discs and brake pads changed last year and since then I’ve been having a similar issue, I’ve just been told my callipers bad but if it’s just loose then this is video is saving me a lot of money

[@GeorgeAusters]

Could be the same issue!

[@fadedgabe9169]

Honestly saved my life🙏🏽👍🏽 i was getting the same noise but 10x worse. Checked all the suspension and couldnt find anything then remembered seeing this video and checked my brakes and the caliper bolt was completely gone! Remember to use thread lock!👍🏽

[@tuphanshahi4844]

Thank you for posting the video mate. It really helped me as a refrence to fix the problem. When I went to the mechanic with the problem he said the Ball joints was causing the problem which I wasn't too sure about. Cos when I checked my caliper it was pretty loose but didn't have enough tools to perform it myself. However, I insisted him to check the caliper and found out there was literally no grease on the pins. And after that was greased there was no fucking noise.... Sometimes the problem might be too minor which I don't understand why so called experienced mechanics don't wanna look for ? Long story short, check your grease on the pins aswell who knows that might be the reason for that scary annoying noise. Thanks once again mate ! You're a living legend👍

[@AirplaneJunkie82]

If you want to inspect control arm bushings, it's a good idea to jack up the wheel to preload the suspension on that side so the control arm sits straight like it would be when sitting flat on the road. When it's hanging down like this under the weight of itself and the wheel, you couldn't properly diagnose a bad bushing unless actual chunks were missing from it.

[@Halfrightfox]

I'm not a BMW owner but I would be proud to have you part of my car community

[@Doovde69]

Another tip - thread your wheel nuts\bolts on by hand first a couple of turns to make sure you are threading them on correctly. Only then put the gun near them and hit them with some power. Else you may risk cross threading your hub, and that's an entirely avoidable world of pain.

[@GeorgeAusters]

You’re absolutely right, I would always do this with regular wheel bolts but these are tapered nuts to prevent them from cross threading👍🏻

[@Doovde69]

George Austers I’m afraid you’re wrong on that. The taper is on the outside and is used to seat against the bevel on the wheel hole and give wheel better positioning on the bolts. Nothing to with avoiding cross threading the nut onto the bolt. 👍

[@LifeInZadar]

I thought the same thing. Hand starting is what we teach at Toyota.

[@cosmaskehinde323]

Thanks man, this just solved my car issues. It seems my mechanic forgot to tightened the brake shoe after replacing pads. The clunchy noise has been on each time i pedal my brake for almost a week now. It got me worried. Thanks for saving my little cash

[@GeorgeAusters]

You’re welcome man!

[@Bud-xy5ee]

Brake shoe? Did it also have a disc brake?

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Got the same problem.The shims or bracket that holds the pads in place can also cause the clicking noise

[@sideshowbob32]

I have literally the same issue! New pads and discs and now this 'clunk I didn't have before! Life saver

[@Flaco_Tech]

I finally found this video with similar problem. I have a Dodge Avenger R/T 2012 from CarMax.everything was fine until months later I brake really hard and heard the clicking sound. Now, every time I brake when going 20-50 MPH. I hear the sound louder then before. So I thought it’s the ABS and got it diagnosed from a mechanic but that wasn’t the problem. Now that I saw this video. I’m going to check the brakes and pads. I hope this solves the problem. Thanks dude!!!

[@73kokitch]

Thanks for posting that video mate, this will definitely help many fans to save lots of money!

[@waynerussell999]

Just solved this. Did two things so one or both fixed it. Tightened calliper bracket as shown in video. But also ensure you go beyond just a simple hand tighten of the lugnuts especially if lacking specialized equipment like me. In other words use the weight of your foot on end of tire iron to tighten down lugs nuts.

[@sleepwalking117]

Thanks I know my control arm bushings are bad but this just confirms that this is what the problem is. I guess I better get to work on it then. Literally feels like my tire is falling off when I break

Great work on detecting and fixing the problem. I have a similar clunking noise under hard braking right before coming to a stop. I did find the right outer tie rod to be lose and the left outer CV boot with a bit of grease even though is not torn.. I will also check the caliper bolts when replacing the suspension components. Sometimes suspension/braking noises can originate from the least expected area of the car. Great video!

[@foxyblonde73]

I have mine right before I come to a complete stop. The noise is felt through steering wheel. I think I get it sometimes when pulling away too. Other than that all good. Can I ask what you replaced?

[@rivolinho]

George you legend. Another crisis averted on my e60!

[@andrewbarker944]

If it's any consolation, my wife brought our bimmer back the other day saying there was a funny noise coming from the back brakes. Can't be the pads I thought as there was at least a couple of thousand miles left on them. Sometimes when the car has been stood for a while and it has been damp the brakes can be a bit squeaky, so I told her to stamp on them a few times. I was outside working on my son's Lupo, when she came back with the car making an awful metal to metal screeching noise. Turns out the noise was a seized rear brake caliper, loads of pad left on one side, nothing but the backing plate on the other side! So that's new pads, new discs and refurbishing the callipers on both sides. None of which should have needing doing.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Jheeez😢 Make sure you really grease them slide pins up mate!

[@andrewbarker944]

@@GeorgeAusters lol, actually it's the piston it won't retract and was constantly pushing against the disc. That's why I have tp replace the discs too.

[@Doovde69]

That's a total pita when that happens, and is usually caused by the dust seal breaking down and allowing dirt and moisture inside the caliper against the outside of the piston when then corrodes and rusts solid. It happened to me on my Audi RS4 a few years ago, though I managed to catch it really quickly and the (vv expensive) discs were salvageable with a skim and just needed new pads and the caliper stripped and refurbed. Good luck

[@iangriffin9636]

When i change the pads on any car i spray wd40 in behind the piston outer seal and this helps stopping the piston from sticking

[@michaelkydd9700]

Mines has been making the very same noise recently, I checked all steering and suspension parts but nothing. I'll check this at the weekend 👍

[@foxyblonde73]

I get a deep clunk noise which I feel through Steering Wheel right before the car comes to a complete stop. It doesn't matter how gently I roll to a stop it still happens.

[@markhancox5475]

They shouldn't work loose like that - either they weren't torqued down properly and/or there should be thread lock on the bolts 🤔

[@aam77]

If it hasn't fixed the issue and you are positive all bushes are fine, then it may be the suspension strut top mount bearing, the one held by three nuts under the bonnet.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yeah I don’t think it is the strut bearing. That typically grinds when you’re turning the wheel👍🏻

[@niodndbblolo8890]

What a great video, been trying to sort this out for about a month.

[@clintrichardsonclintfromny203]

My issue sounds more like an extended scraping sound upon breaking after slight ascension or decensions also from higher speeds. Its pronounced on the driver side and there's a small vibration as well. You've given me a clue as to what it may be though.

[@thebordernow]

Great video, but at 3:49 I'm really surprised that that much movement in the 3 & 9 o'clock position might be considered "normal" (even though it also happened on the other side, too). Also, at 9:45, aren't you concerned about possibly crossthreading by putting the lugnuts on with the impact wrench instead of starting them on first by hand so you can "feel" them going on right, before using the inpact?

[@cl82486]

[@ObscureShadeMJ]

I have an old 1994 Toyota Starlet who's now going to need some more TLC, and I've recently noticed a clunk sometimes when braking, but it's only at very low speed like turning around in a cul de sac, or parking/pulling off on a slope. Driving the car in general and braking does not produce this noise and sensation when braking. I did get the undercarriage looked at recently, and was told she's still pretty sturdy for her age and I'm looking to get it protected. I asked the guy how the brakes felt and he said they felt fine, but this clunk only happening under the above circumstances is bothering me. Any thoughts? FYI, I have NO skills in car mechanics (or mechanics at all), so I think spending money will be unavoidable.

[@bigbenmk4873]

Let me know if you find something im having same thing

[@jessd1952]

If it clunks while turning sharply at low speed it may be a CV axle. This happens more from accelerating than braking though. Listen to see if it's behind the front tire.

[@camilleadam9556]

Well thank u I have the same issue with my x6 so hopefully is the caliper just need to be tight.

It states in my manual that the bolts are single use only. The new ones are described as being encapsulated. Whether using the old bolts with loctite would have the same effect, i'm not sure. You can get the new ones from BMW direct on ebay, they are only a couple of quid each.

Hey George, I own a 320D EDE E90 built in 2011. Sometimes when I drive between 90 and 100 km per hour my steering wheel starts to wobble (the steering wheel moves from left to right) and often it is noticeable when you hold the wheel . The other time, the wobbling is completely gone on exactly the same piece of asphalt. I have often balanced the tires, car aligned and used other rims and tires. I do note that in wet weather the wobbling can be completely gone. All rubbers are also checked and the mechanics say that there is little to no play. Do you notice that with E60 or is this just a BMW thing? Greetings from the Netherlands!
