Front Suspension Noise Squeak - Top Mounts Strut Mount

[RyanS3]

I have a noise that is apparent when I am at a stop and I'm turning my steering wheel.
I also hear it at very low speed. It started about 3 weeks ago.
Then, it was damp and chilly here for the past two weeks, I didn't hear the noise.
Warmed up today, and it's back. it's just the D side/front.

I have coilovers. Since hearing the noise, I got new end links, so the noise isn't the links.

Audi S3
front
top mount 5q0 412 331d
bearing 5q0 412 249e

these are used in many vehicles, including golf and tt
they are not upgraded for the R or S3

I have to replace one.
What aftermarket options do we have, other than ECS?
I recall someone else making their own kit?

ECS has a HD kit

do you have coil overs or lowering springs? which one?

Same issue on my Mk7 lowered on Ohlins


I have the ECS HD strut mounts to install to give it a shot.

I was able to fix it, but I can't tell you exactly what it was.
I'm on coilovers.

I jacked up the corner which was making the noise. removed wheel/tire.
I turned the spring around in it's place....
loosened the bolt on the coilovers to allow this.
I tweaked the height a bit.
noise disappeared forever.
no clue what caused it

if you try this and it doesn't work. I'd say it's worth your time to keep trying it a few times.
take this opportunity to get all four corners dialed in for your perfect stance.

Yeah I'm lowered on the Ohlins Road and Track coilovers. Thanks for the tip on the ride height adjustment, I also have all new bolts to make sure everything is torqued to spec. Let's see

Didn't follow up earlier. I installed them a few days ago, lost the annoying sound. Car rides great. Drove is 500+mi yesterday to Busch Gardens
