Help Needed

Hey everyone, for a little while now I've had knocking/creaking issue going on in the front end of my 2017 Clubman. It only happens over bumps. Usually it isn't too bad, so I wasn't very concerned as I just figured some suspension parts were wearing and were getting close to needing replaced. However, this morning it was REALLY bad. I could feel it and now I'm thinking something suspension and frame related. The car has never been in an accident either. Below is a video and any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

There is a TSB out for the front suspension on the 2017, I believe. Back in 2017 I took my 2017 Clubman S All4 in for scheduled service and they replaced some front suspension parts and did an alignment as part of the program, all at no charge.

I would suggest you contact your dealer or MINIUSA to get details on this known issue.

Best of luck -- let us know what you learn.

2017All4 is spot on with his recommendation. Your noises sound like a bushing/ball joint taking a vacation for sure. I would get that looked at sooner than later.

3 years and 15,000 miles on my F54 and no issues like this.

Thanks for the update, please let us know what you find.
