Scirocco R making noise front wheels

Post by jvrennij »

I need advice, i have a click noise (like a bearing outer race) when I pull away and breaking. Also knocking noise when driving onto small paving curb at my house. All sounds like its coming from the front wheels. Any possible causes for this? Took it to VW a few times at some major cost with no success........

Did they replace any parts?

When did you notice this new noise?

You can tell a lot from just getting another Wheel Alignment test done, those technicians are quite sharp to pick up issues that exist on the suspension. Especially if it's component that's related to setting the wheel alignment.
