hi all, ime new to this site & ime hopng somebody out there can help. I have owned my rrs for three & a half years now, & it has cost a pretty penny to keep it on the road, having replaced discs, pads & calipers to the rear, both egr valves, alternator all the work comes to approx £3000. The latest repair bill is still on going, there has been a knocking coming from the front passenger side, so the mechanic took it to his garage, replaced the the hub bearing on the front passenger wheel & said that should fix the problem, but it did'nt. When I got the car back it was just as bad, phoned the garage they took it away again sent it back saying they could'nt find anything wrong, is there anybody out there can point my mechanic in the right direction many thanx wings.

Hello Wings.

Is the front knocking when going over uneven urfaces, it´s most probably Antiroll bar,
bushings and/or droplinks.

If the knock appears when "tapping" the brakes in low speed, it´s the
bushings in the lower front arms.

If it´s all the above, then it´s all the above..

I have just been over to Your fair lands doing all of the above, and my, what a difference,
I´m driving what feels like a new car..

It made a dent in the wallet though, but compared to doing it here in the northern countries, where
they cut out all the spare parts from solid blocks of gold, (or it seems that they are doing that),
it was well worth everey penny.

I had it done by a very good Independent in Somerset.

My mechanic has checked all of the above and is still beat, I watched him doing a bar test while it was up on the ramp and he could'nt find a thing wrong back to the drawing board me thinks:blub:

Did he disconnect the drop links

Need to have some weight on the wheel to test the joint on RR. If you jack them up to full travel or left them off the ground it appears that there is no wear. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

he did'nt dave what would that do so i can tell him

The drop links put tension on the anti roll bar and stops you seeing any movement but if you disconnect them you will see if there is any movement. It takes about 10 minutes to check them mate

cheers dave will see the mechanic on monday

Did you sort it?

I had my ARB bushes replaced the other day, as the front end was a bit crashy, and wow what a difference the replacements have made, feels like new again!  2016 VW Golf GTD DSG
