Mysterious bang - 850

Ovlovdriver · May 24th, 2013, 20:55

Drove back 30 miles home in an 850 today. 25 miles into the journey i passed a car and the was a bang, much like the sound of a tyre popping. Stopped, checked tyres and nothing, all fine. Drove off, opened the window and again loud bang. The bang comes from front right side, either engine bay or suspension, any idea's what it could be? no pulleys are stuck, all belts are fine, no cracked springs.

could be
suspension top mounts or drop links thats what first comes to mind was it a smooth road or a normal potholed one

it happened twice, once on a slightly bumpy road, and then a perfectly smooth road

yep check these, it's not unknown for the drop links to physically separate from the ball socket if their that bad.
