Knocking noise coming from the front....suspension? engine mount?

[Gti Dave]

Hey guys I got this knock too and it happens only when turning driving off the street on to my driveway at low to moderate speeds. I think it started to happen after I installed the strut bar. I do get worried about it sometimes cause its not a great sound.

Have you had your car lowered??

if it's sway bar noise, try pulling the sway bar off and greasing up every contact point. Subaru's suffer from this. For any brissie/SEQ people, I have a small amount of whiteline grease left over from fitting the swaybar to my previous vehicle that you're welcome to use - otherwise just buy some grease.

I don't recall seeing rubber mounts for the front sway bar which on the polos, in the soobies, when the bar moved within the rubber, it made a loud ping noise. No biggy, just disconcerting.

The fix is to replace them , however you can close up the ball joints to tighten them. quieten them down. Common as.

Get a mate to rock the car side to side (with door open much easier). Get on the floor n put hand behind front wheel/s and hold on to the drop link lower join. If there are are separate movement, drop link is shot. Same thing for the top join. Your describing sound like metal knocking noise so that the first thing i'll check. Bring back to vw and bicth with em lol.
