Just checking in to say my 116i (May 2014) has the same issue. Knocking coming from the front right, usually when turning at slow speeds (car parks), or when hitting bumps in the road (or kerbs when going into my driveway).

Dealer already replaced the right suspension strut, and right tie rod, but neither fixed the problem.
They tried to tell me it was normal but I disagreed. We tried another 116i (with twice the miles mine has) and it proved that mine was far worse, so they ordered a new rack, which should be fitted next week.


The car SHOULD make a knocking when the engine isn't running if the steering wheel is rocked left and right, but when the engine is started the knocking should subside.
