Suspension noise octavia vRS

Featured Replies

Just noticed a strange noise from my front passenger side suspension.Every time i go over a speed bump or in a pot hole there is a loud squeaking/grinding noise. During normal driving no noise is evident.

I have booked in to see a dealer on thursday but thought you might have some ideas before then??

Thanks

Carl

I have a persistent squeak Carlos which in my case is caused by the radiator mounts. Try grabbing hold of the radiator and rocking from side to side.

Nick, does a spray of WD40 or the like on the mounts help?

Andrew, no not really. It's the bottom mount on the passenger side and it's a pig to get at. The only solution I've found so far is to jack the top mount up as far as it will go so it's taking most of the weight. I have to keep doing it as it slips down (I assume)

Anti roll bar bushes are a very common cause of speaks from the front end of the Octy. New bushes have been modded to stop it iirc.
