Front end rattle/loose

Drifter2090 · 10-09-2015, 08:34 AM

Hello,

I just got my 335i coupe about 2 months ago, I have notice that on bumps the front end seems kind of loose, my old car G35 coupe, had this issue when the front end links were not tight enough. I feel it mostly when i hit a small manhole during a turn, it just feels like something is loose. Anyone know what it could be? I am not sure what to check.

Thanks

could be sway bar end links. you could try removing the links and front sway and see if the problem persists.
also check strut bar fasteners and strut shaft fasteners.

Tie rod or ball joint

If it is this, how much do you think it will cost to fix?
I am going to a shop today just want to make sure

It will vary depending on what the actual issue is.
Tie rod ends, both sides with alignment $300/400
Around the same for ball joints.
If is swaybar links as mention above then would be less.
