Hi Guys,

Having owned a 2003 TDI300 Transporter and also an 02 Caravelle TDI, I know that in time the front suspension develops an horrendous creaking noise, best heard when going over speed bumps etc.

From memory, it comes from worn bushes or something like that.

My newly acquired 1 owner 2003 Trakka 2003 Campervan is amply exhibiting these symptoms. So I guess, my questions for you folks at this point are:

1) Is this as horrendous as no doubt the dealer/European specialist mechanic is going to portray it?

2) What is a reasonable cost to repair for parts & labour?

thanks heaps for any advice you can offer on this one!
