Magnet Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hello Steve, I used to favour KYB, but had a couple of incidences of poor service life (not on an Audi) whereby they became (rock?) hard in a relatively short space of time - gas issues? I was possibly unlucky - twice. The other make you mention is an unknown to me. Something new to learn every day! Many thanks again Steve. Kind regards, Gareth.

arron1995 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Whilst where talking about my issues, now I’ve noticed when I turn my steering wheel side to side while stationary it’s now creaking quite a bit whereas the other day it was only lightly doing it.

Hi the item I was banging on about is the springs I have never used the shocks I only ever fitted Bilstein B4/B6s but for your average mile owner the choice is unlimited. Steve.

Hi its not the rack, probably a top mount bearing been bashed to death by the lack of damping. Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a local mechanic Steve, literally up the road, gonna give them a call tomorrow see when they can book me in , luckily they close at 6pm, which makes it 10x easier for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arron1995 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Took it to the local mechanic and they said everything was perfect… it just doesn’t make sense, it either has to be the shocks or shocks and top mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arron1995 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Had it to a 3rd mechanic who couldn’t find any issues… today I removed the battery as I’ve noticed a lot of engine movement and I’ve found that the gearbox mount has a lot of play in it, that requires minimal force to move side to side, going to change it and hopefully that’s my issue solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
