Low speed knocking sound

nolan12 · 09-30-2024, 09:36 PM

Recently had my transfer case replaced on my 21 M50i. Everything was fine afterwards, but now I'm noticing a dull knocking or popping sound from the front drivers suspension area. Not sure if it is related to the transfer case, but it has started after the replacement.

It occurs at slow speeds or slowing to a stop on somewhat smooth roads but may have a little undulations.

Large bumps or suspension travel doesn't seem to bring out any noises or louder noises.

Anyone experience anything similar? I wonder if it's maybe something like the CV axles or end links. I haven't had the time to bring it back to the dealer yet, but plan to.

Appreciate the SIB. I've noticed my noises going straight vs. turning, so we'll see what they say when I bring it in.
