Problem overview

Some BMW 528i xDrive owners report experiencing a clicking noise during turns even after replacing the front passenger axle. This issue may stem from worn CV joints, where the metal surfaces inside the joint deteriorate over time, resulting in clicking sounds. Additionally, a damaged CV boot can lead to lubrication loss, exacerbating the problem. Worn out suspension components, such as CV joints or ball joints, are also common culprits for these noises. Other suspension elements, including tie rods and sway bar links, may contribute to the issue as well. Furthermore, problems with wheel bearings can produce similar clicking sounds during turns. It is crucial for owners to have these components thoroughly inspected to identify the exact cause of the noise, and if it persists, consulting a mechanic or BMW specialist for a detailed diagnosis is advisable.
