Problem for BMW 1998 3 Series
Front End Clunk.
By maartenw - usenet poster
I have an annoying front end clunk on the right side of my 85 735i. I have
had the shocks replaced and the Tie Rods replaced but it is still there.
Someone told me that the bearing mounts for the struts wear out and can
cause this sound. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks,
Glenn

Yep, I sure have. I had some nasty clunks from my strut bearing mounts
('81 323i, e21). I replaced them, clunks pretty much went away, then
started to return. Then I had to have my Bilsteins re-built. That ended
the clunks for good. Since you've already replaced the struts, I'd say the
bearing mounts are a very likely source.

Yes. Pretty common in all BMW models. The parts are relatively cheap;
the job is not. You should almost invariably do it at the same time as
a strut/shock replacement.
