Why is my BMW X3 making a strange clicking noise when I turn the steering wheel?

I recently noticed that my BMW X3 is making a weird clicking sound whenever I turn the steering wheel. It seems to be coming from the front left tire area. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Emma, it sounds like your BMW X3's CV joint may be worn out or damaged. This is a common issue in older vehicles and can be fixed by replacing the CV joint. I would recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have them inspect and replace the joint if necessary.

Hello Emma, another potential cause for the clicking noise could be a loose or worn out wheel bearing. You can test this by driving your car in a quiet area and see if the noise gets louder when you turn or change lanes. If so, it's likely a worn out wheel bearing and should be replaced by a professional mechanic.

Hi Emma, I had a similar issue with my BMW X3 and it turned out to be a problem with the power steering system. Check your power steering fluid level and have it inspected by a mechanic if it's low. If the fluid is fine, it could be an issue with the power steering pump or belt.
