I just started getting a new major clunk when taking turns or big slow dips from the driver side. Another hunt and destroy. Only two other control arms to guess since the rear wish bone is new.

My lower arm was replaced under warranty a few months ago. They greased the bushing so much that it ended up on the wheel...a big mess.
Now, I'm past my warranty and the noise is back. Only does it when turning, so likely the same bushing as it's connected to the steering knuckle. Joy. |

I have the same noise now a month after installing the lowering springs. Took it back to the guys that did me the job and they said that the control arm bushings have to get “acostumed” to the springs and the noise will disappear. I’m Still waiting for that miracle to happen

UPDATE -
I used to replace parts from 'r33_RGSport' shop but since it is posted as DIY, I tried myself. It was little bit hard but if you want to do it, disconnect the swayer end link, you will be much easier to put middle bolts. (I spend almost 1hr try to figure it and after disconnect the swayer end link, it was so easy to do it) Anyway, I replaced the Wishbone as OP posted and noise is gone. No more noise. Thank you guys. |

Thank you for this useful thread, I have had the groaning / squeaking noise from the front of our family's X5 for several months now and couldn't find anything that looked wrong anywhere. After finding this thread, I took a chance on replacing the wishbones even though all of the bushings in my wishbones looked perfect. Even with the old arms off of the car, I couldn't spot a single thing that looked off about the bushings BUT the new arms have 100% eliminated the noise. Steering is definitely a little smoother and I was also experiencing a pretty noticeable brake pedal judder on medium braking that is also 90% gone now.
Our X5 is a 2015 with 60k miles on it. |

Well Mav, I mentioned this initially under your DIY Wishbone thread but this is probably the right thread here..
Had my Thrust Arms aka Upper Control Arms replaced recently because a bushing was worn and cracked, however, there was no audible noise at the time. After the replacements, I now have a creaking sound at low speeds on front driver's side that seems to go away (at least mostly) after I drive for a few minutes. It's definitely the worst when I first start driving after the car has been sitting for at least a couple hours. My indy couldn't figure it out, 3rd party shop that specializes in front ends, and the dealer couldn't figure it out. I think I'm SOL at this point. Not related to the creaking - Indy is also replacing my front right axle since they screwed up and damaged the axle boot when replacing the control arms. Labor to replace the boot isn't worth it so new axle it is.

As per the previous post about it being covered under warranty I seriously doubt it. Has anyone actually had these replaced under warranty? More than one random guy who buys his SA beers on the weekend...lol
