All parts come with 2 year unlimited mileage warranty. Got very fast delivery also. Highly recommended and will certainly use again if need be (I hope not!)

Thanks.  I also have a light knocking

Mine is lowered about 30mm on coilovers, has 18in monza reps and if i go over a small pot hole of cats eye i get a knocking noise from the front, mines done 146k both outer CV boot are fine, it started doing it around the time i fitted the coilovers but cant be sure on that, ive got no play in my CVs and have been putting this down to prob ARB bushes, maybe i should dig a little deeper

I've got this too  :sad:

I get a "click" when i turn right (on roundabouts etc). It doesnt do it just going over bumps or potholes, only when theres a shift of weight from one side to the other

This is what I had, only made a single knock noise when there's a shift of weight eg turning into a sharp corner left or right. Subframe bolts and spacers fixed it. :happy2:

Do the part numbers only apply to Audi or can I go to my vw dealer for the parts?

Had whiteline bump steer kit fitted today and the knocking noise has gone.

Finally it's gone.  :happy2:

I would suggest / have been advised the bump steer kit may lead to knocking or creaking due to being rose jointed

Had the rear ARB changed to an autotech on ebut left the front as standard  :confused: has anyone else tried changing the front ARB bushes? might be worth a go i guess  :signLOL:
