[QUOTE="Mafulat, post: 702410, member: 27911"] Check in with your service guy, my new steering rack (new part code) arrived and wasn't informed until I asked them. They did a swap for me and the knocking noise is now gone. Apparently some owners still experience further knocking a while later even after the swap. Another thing is that the service center can't do a proper job of alignment if you have aftermarket wheels without bmw's original rims with 5 dimple holes next to the wheel bolts as mounting position for their proprietary alignment system. They hung the system on whatever wheels you have and 'try' to get a decent job done. At least mine seemed fine even when they say it wasn't 100%. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Check in with your service guy, my new steering rack (new part code) arrived and wasn't informed until I asked them. They did a swap for me and the knocking noise is now gone. Apparently some owners still experience further knocking a while later even after the swap. Another thing is that the service center can't do a proper job of alignment if you have aftermarket wheels without bmw's original rims with 5 dimple holes next to the wheel bolts as mounting position for their proprietary alignment system. They hung the system on whatever wheels you have and 'try' to get a decent job done. At least mine seemed fine even when they say it wasn't 100%. [/QUOTE]
