Need help. Car makes a tap noise when turn or hit gas at stop light
Hey everyone,
I have a 2011 E92 m3, around 35K and it has Ohlins R/T coilover installed around 12/25/2015. (I don't know if it's a coilover related problem but just trying to provide more information here). So the problem is my car is making a tap noise(It's not constant, usually one tap or two) when I turn the steering wheel, and it also happens when I release the brake and hit the gas at a stop light. I think it happens more often when the car just started. It started happening one month ago, which is several days after I put my 220m wheels with snow tires on. (When I install the Ohlins, the car had the summer setup on, VFF103 with 265/30 and 295/30 PSS. My snow setup is 220M with LM60 255/35 and 275/35) Anyone has experience this before? Thanks in advance.

I went back and checked all of my nuts and bolts to make sure they were all tight and found that several were not tight enough... I tightened end links, pillow ball, and strut tower nuts that I felt were not tight enough and all of that noise vanished... Just a suggestion... I really thought that I had double checked everything during the install but I still think its a good idea to go back and double check suspension nuts and bolts after the car has been driven about 1000 miles on new coilovers... I was surprised to find a few nuts were not quite tight enough... |

Update: I just picked up my car from the shop, they said they checked everything that's possible to make the noise but didn't find anything. They also check the nuts and bolts, and they were all tight.
I was told it might be the front springs that are making this noise. As long as there's no damage or anything, I guess I will have to live with it.

think I have the same issue. A clunk / tap you feel thru the steering wheel when you gas it from standstill and a clunk / tap when I turn left at low speed.
edit: standard suspension. similar issues on my 911 were the sway bar ends as suggested by pbonslab Last edited by triplej; 03-20-2016 at 04:02 AM.. |

I have no regrets in making the switch to coilovers, even though it comes with a few side effects... My guess is also probably the sway bar end links... I don't remember what I torqued mine too, but they were pretty damn tight... I have no noise on the BC's, except squeaky bushings on the shocks and struts... Certainly noticeable in parking lots when the pavement is very uneven; otherwise silent...
It may just be something you will have to live with... Chassis performance is well worth a few minor noises... |

Could you please let me know if they find anything? But dealer technicians usually go "oh I didnt hear anything..."

Seems to be worse when its cold so by the time I got to the dealership they couldn't hear anything. After an inspection they decided to replace the sway bar ends. Waiting on parts so Ill let you know what happens.
