Front End Knock/Clunk

**Koz** · 27-06-2007, 10:10 PM

I know I seen someone also discussing a similar problem with their Polo GTi but I cant find the post for the life of me.

I am getting a clunk/knocking sound from the drivers side front end when taking corners 20-25kmh +. I dropped it off to the dealer under warranty but they couldnt find anything out of character - not sure how hard they tried.

I know its not right and this needs to be addressed.

Any suggestions on possible causes/fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have had shocks replaced didnt fix it... its more common than i thought, I think a characteristic of some crappy part of the car that no dealer can identify... the biggest prob is getting a dealer to hear it, cos when you take it there it wont make the noise for them

I find i can replicate it pretty consitantly by driving into a driveway with a fair amount of left hand lock at a brisk walking pace.

If you can do this too, then there is a good chance of being able to replicate this at the dealerships.

Good luck

x 2. I've also replaced my suspension with coilovers. So it has to be somehting to do with the brakes, mounts or driveshaft?
