Steering Rattle

[KennyG]

When I drive over anything rough my steering wheel gets a rattle/vibration. Only on the front right side wheel.Is there a bushing or something that may be loose there? Tie-Rod ?I'm driving a E46 318i 2000

Time for Mini Cooper JCW! :nyehehe:

Ok, seriously it could be the tie rod. But jack up the car and check the lower arm ball joint as well.

JCW cannot, must get better. Must put Botak to shame.

M3...

Thanks for the tip, will check the joints.

I am also experiencing more or less the same thing lah but mine one got sound only without the vibration. What's wrong ??

knocking noise usually occured when lower arm ball joint or tie rod ball joint worn out...
