Hello all, 

 

I’ve had a developing issue with my 2015 Octavia, that’s been progressively getting worse. 
 

I’ve just spent around £400 having my full service, aircon and a part of the top suspension replaced. 
 

The car makes the noise in the video intermittently when driving or whenever the front end is shook up and down by hand. But doesn’t sound entirely related to suspension
 

If anyone has had a similar issue or knows what it can be and can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

I am not a pro by any means but possibly something related to the steering column rack?

Honestly, I was dreading that - not cheap.

 

luckily the fix was much simpler! 

Hello, for those searching due to a similar issue.

After multiple garage trips and £600, What fixed mine;

 

New passenger drop link £20 for a cheap one…

it wasn’t in bad condition but the bottom bearing had lots of dirt ingress.

 

Did the job myself, happy Octavia once again.
