Aum 1.8t gti loose knocking
« on: 29 January 2014, 23:11 »
hello,

 I'm getting a very lose knocking/clunking sound when going over bumpy surfaces, it feels like it's right under my feet by the pedals but on both sides of the car if you get what I mean? I've had the car on axel stands and given the wheels a good shake and checked for any play but I can't seem to find any, has anyone had this before?  cheers

Bar is on it?

Wishbone bushes, arb bushes or ball joints

Arb bushes would be my guess,right under your feet.
