Polo tdi with 125k kms, what's likely stuffed?

[hiho]

Hi guys, my wife's 2009 polo tdi has just ticked over 125000kms. It has some creaks in the suspension, what is likely to need replacing?

LCA bushes, I bet the tyres aren't worn even either. Replace with Cupra ones or poly for a permanent fix.

Thanks Gavin, any idea where I can source these?

jmac will have the Cupra ones, otherwise online for the poly ones from superpro or have a look at psituning through the link in my signature.

i've got some lower control arm front bushes - the seat cupra ones that i never had fitted to my polo because the thing was written off by a landcruiser.

i see you're in melbourne, too. if i can find em within a couple of days, i'll pm you. i've also got brake stuff (pads, rotors) that are brand new in box. i'm happy to let them go for cheap (like, fcking cheap).

Thanks guys, I ordered lca and swaybar bushes from psi. They arrived yesterday and were a breeze to install. Made a HUGE difference! The old bushes were were wobbly like jelly....

So there is still an annoying clunking that occurs when more than about a quarter turn of steering lock is applied in either direction, usually in conjunction with a rough surface. It does not sound/feel like cv joints. Any suggestions? Ball joints or strut tops perhaps???

It could be what some of us are experiencing in this thread Suspension Knock / Rattle Turning at low speed
If it is, then good luck
