E39 Knocking Sounds from Front Right Whell
Hi
I have a 1998 E39 535i that has a knocking sound coming from the front right wheel area. The noise can be heard mainly at low speeds and when touching the brake (not only when touching the brake though). It sounds like a load of golf balls rattling around in the bottom of a golf bag. The car has been to BMW who changed discs and pads to no effect and in the last week I have taken it to an independent mechanic who cannot find anything wrong with the brakes or wheel bearings. I have been assured that the sound is not dangerous but it is driving me up the wall!!!! I should also mention that it only seems to occur when the vehicle is warm. Any ideas anyone please? Regards AZZA |

I'd still be skeptical of the brakes. Maybe the caliper/hardware shifting back and forth. A determined professional shop WILL find the noise, and charge accordingly for their efforts.

Pink Panther makes sense to me.
 Loose nut on the top of the shock tower, I think, is what he's getting at.
