    Steering and Suspension problem

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Sometime ago I started to hear a clunking noise on the right side when only the right wheel would go over a bump at low speeds or when entering parking lots, now the noise is getting louder and same happens for the left wheel. There's no clunk when both wheels go over the bump. Lately, I've started to have some steering jerk on uneven roads/bumps, steering will turn left or right depending which side go over the bump. The car would aslo pull to the left when braking on uneven roads, the caliplers did not seize! One time the steering jerked to the right when the left wheel went though a pool of water. The car is not as planted as usual.

    My mechanic does not have a clue. Before I take it to Audi, anyone have any idea of what may be causing this. Is the strut causing this?

    Thanks

    Might be sway bar bushings. They are cheap and pretty easy to replace. Good place to start looking at.

    It varies by diameter, ecstuning.com (ES#4744) is where I got mine for a 20mm bar. I went the cheap way with those. Most people say go with the polyurethane ones.

    I've never dealt with these people, but they have them also...
