Potential Suspension Issue

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Wondering if you can help me diagnose the sound I am hearing in the video attached. Usually only hearing this when I get into my car or when I put a little pressure on it. I've checked all other sides and no similar noise. 

It will be going in for a service soon but wanted to see if anyone had any idea beforehand. 

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response! I was suspecting a worn rubber bush or but always worry it might be more (praying its not!). There's no leaking fluid anyway but I will update as soon as I get it looked at.

Sorry for the delay everyone, had to wait to get a service date, had it in yesterday, techs have said the sound is coming from the way the brakes are worn and suspension itself is fine (first time I have heard that...)

So what did they do to the brakes, and has it cured the noise?

So I am not hearing the noise as much now, not 100% sure if they just applied some from of lubrication onto the brakes (or onto the bushes etc if they were bs'ing etc), the only thing they mentioned from the health check I got was that eventually over the next while the pads need to be done but from checking they still have a good bit left on them so honestly its the first time like Steve has mentioned I have ever heard that.

Hmm, I'm not convinced, but I guess we'll never know for certain.

Either am I, and to correct myself above it was the discs but even still they're fine. Unfortunately I dont have a ramp to put it up and check myself but the car itself drives fine so I'll keep an eye on it for now! I've attached the health check report I got anyway

In the Audi’s workshop manual they specify max 2 mm wear on the discs ,  that’s only 1mm each side does seem a lot !

Yeah either way I will be keeping on an ear for it over the next while but driving wise it seems fine for now
