1. First thing that comes to mind is a mounting problem, either at the top or bottom. Did the rubber bushing get installed correctly at the top (where is the knocking coming from..low or high?).

2. The accelerator pedal has two nylon bushings in a bracket mounted to the firewall. Lubricate these bushings with a suitable lubricant (WD-40 is NOT a good lubricant as it evaporates quickly) like silicon. Also, lubricate the pivot point between the pedal and the linkage.


1. Changed the RR self leveling shock on my 88 750il. Now I have an intermittent knocking from that area. The self leveling systen never made that noise before, and seems to be working properly with no leaks. Any idea what this is?

2. Anyone know what causes the squeaking in my accelerator pedal? It's really irritating, so I just turn up the stereo.
