When I turn in my rallye I sometimes get a creaking sound coming from the suspension and other times when it is bumpy it seems to make a knocking sound as the suspension compresses!Anyone know what could be causing this?

i had same problem in the front drivers side when i changed the top mounts, droplinks, springs and struts. Think it was slightly loose top mount screws (the 3 you can see from the engine bay) so tightened them and not had it since but only driven it once though it was a spirited run in the b-road twisties! Easy to change if you have half a clue about what you're doing...  ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Mine does the same but also does it from the rear end sometimes? Rear beam seized? ________________________________________ allesclar wrote: wrote: the only kind of similarities of the xsi and a 6' is if you jumble the letters round to spell six  |
