Poor handling will result. Also car may pull to one side usually as bushes wear unevenly.

This does not sound like your situation.

it seems to be coming from the drivers side suspension strut. I put the bonnet up and rocked it a bit and it doesnt seem to be coming from the top mount, but I'll check it thoroughly when I get more time. I guess this would mean dismantling the top of the strut?

Also, what could cause it to wear so quick and unevenly if it is the top mount? both were changed at the same time around a year ago and are VR spec on an 8v (1.8t now but the noise started before the conversion)
20vt conversion, sig pic coming soon!
