Suspension Noise

Featured Replies

My a4 had an issue previously with the lower control arms and i replaced all lower arms and ball joints and this fixed the issue for a while. Now theres an issue where sometimes if i brake moving forwards or backwards it will make a clunk/popping noise, it also does this while steering at low speeds. I have had a look underneath nothing seems to be loose or seriously worn. would like some suggestions where to have a look.

Thanks.

Car: 2011 A4 2.0 TDI

Many thanks for joining Awais,

Having eliminated the obvious, have you checked whether one of the springs have broken - near to the spring seats? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thanks for the reply Gareth,

I have checked the spring assembley and nothing seems to be broken or moving about. I have also checked the top mounts, links and track rod ends.

Thanks Awais, 

Do you have access to a lift or hoist, or are you conducting these inspections on your back? 
To me, it’s time to get it checked out where it can be inspected on a lift.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.s. Apologies but the noise is barely audible, but my hearing is pretty poor.
