Camber Plate and Upper strut bearing help

E92M3Pilot · 08-07-2013, 06:42 PM

My Z4m is experiencing some clicking noises from steering wheel while turning the wheels. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the steering linkage and other diagnostic, but the noise still exist. I currently have PSS10 and GC sway bar installed, so my dealer is pointing to the after market parts. So I called GC, which was very helpful explaining what might caused it. GC is pretty confident the clicking is from the upper strut bearing, not an expensive part. Anyone had experience this before?

My concern is, if I replace the upper strut bearing or go with a new set of camber plates, do I need to redo my alignment and corner balance all over again?

Strut bearing maybe, part camber plate maybe, whole camber plate yes.
