GigaHea2 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 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.

Magnet Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaHea2 Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 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.
