clunking/clacking noise front
« on: May 13, 2010, 09:56:33 pm »
Hey guys!

I purchased a 2008 S3 about half a year ago and I noticed that while going slowly over small ditches and ruts that there was a loudish noise from the front end.  I never really cared cause I was just so in love with the car.  I believe that now it is louder and when I turn the steering wheel back and forth while the car is stationary there is a clunking/clacking sound.  The car has always been driven like a baby and it has only 16000 km.  Where I come from there are only 13 S3's and the mechanics here are lying thieves.  I would appreciate it if anyone could give me a heads up as to what is wrong.  Thanks!!

Check the anti roll bars haven't come loose off the bracket at either side.
Also check the droplinks from the dampers to the ARb's haven't come loose.
