I'm got this strange squeaky noise yesterday the front right wheel area. Most likely coming from suspension as applying brakes makes no difference.

Suspension was set in comfort mode so thought maybe something is rubbing. Stuck it back in normal mode and still the same but after a short drive it went away.

Anyone know what this squeaky noise could be as it pretty loud as one can hear it inside cabin. Both upper n lower arms have been changed. Drop links are still original but would like some input before going for a service.

Thanks

 

Suspension bushing probably.

 

Did you switch from rubber to polyurethane bushings? If so they may need to be greased.

 

Suspension n bushes are all OE.

May be its the weather but will have checked it out. Anyone know if we can get polyurethane bushes for our car?

Thanks

 

Not got a gt


But you can use a8 w12 bushings , I have seen some performance stuff for them

 

how much are the A8 bushings v/s the dealer? what years for the a8? I think its time for mines to be done now.

 

What bushings do you need? Front upper control arms ?

 

The front don't know much about them at all. its just starting to feel a little lose when I hit bumps.

 

Diagnose at a mechanic first
Usually the front upper arms go bad, 4 arms in total

I can get you the bushings for these arms in poly or rubber
Or just replace the entire arm with new balljoints


put a load on the suspension with a breaker bar to see if anything if anything is loose
And look at them to we if any cracks are present

 

Thanks
