Hey guys, I have quite a problem and i'm hoping somebody knows how to fix it.
I just got new tires put on my '89 325is and as soon as i drove away i heard and felt a clicking noise whenever i turned left. I took it back to the tire place and they put it up on a lift and told me I probably need to replace the control arms because my lower left ball joint was loose. They also said that they didn't cause the problem and didn't believe me when i told them it wasn't clicking before i took it to them. Anyway, i got new control arms and installed them but it didn't do anything to stop the clicking sound. The only thing i can think of is that a bearing might be broken or something. any other ideas? my mechanic is just as stumped as I am. Any help would be much appreciated.
