Post by: the_stink on 05 July 2009, 09:47

since yesterday when i start the car and say go to turn around when i put it on full lock get the most horid sound!!! not sure what it is but only seems to do it when i start the car? plus every little bump i get a bloody squeak, i know the garage said the front ARB bushes were looking worn so im assuming thats what causing htat but the steering im not to sure about any ideas

ARB bushes without a doubt especially if the garage said they were worn!! I get a whine on full left hand lock but that is a common Golf thing as all mine and my brothers have done it...

My old 4motion did the squeak over bump thing so after 3 months I outed it and bought a BMW! More annoying thatn a problem though

Pop a couple of Audi TT bushes in there, jobs a good un.  Classic case of the labour costing more than the parts  :drool:

is it best to replace them all, mine squeek and rattle like crazy, they make a tinny kind of bump noise at times too? e.g. if i put it in reverse, reverse a bit then dip the clutch it makes a funny rattle from the back end, im lowering it this week anyway so probably a good time to find out what the problem is!
