Awd problem ... Clunk and binding feeling

domain007 · 07-20-2018, 06:38 PM

Hey guys, I have a manual 335xi and when I'm coming to a stop in neutral the car pulls left and sometimes it feels like it's binding, with a little clunk as well. It's sitting on kw v1s. Everything on the front end is new apart from the axles. Alignment is good and front camber is at -1.5. I checked everything and it all seems alright .... I'm totally out of ideas .... Transfer case? Axles? Front diff? Thanks in advance guys

1st thing to check would be front to rear Tire/wheel size and excessive thread wear mixed with new tire. check tire pressure.

Second, a quick wiggle on the front and rear drive shafts see if anything is abnormal. failed universal joints on the front driveshaft are really common

third do the same with your front axles

Any DCT/4x4 lights ?
