I've got a knocking sound on the gti6 coming from drivers side front.
when I got the car I changed a lot of the front suspension/steering components and since the knock I've changed more but I still haven't cured it.

Here's a list of what's new...
Strut top/bearings
Wheel bearings
Drop links
Arb bushes
Track rods
Track rod ends
Wishbone with new bushes and ball joint

I still haven't cured the issue though and now I'm lost. Undecided

It's knocks when I pull off, stop, steer and sometimes going over bumps...

Could it be engine mounts?

Just an idea although I no doubt bet you've checked. I had a random knock/rattle issue from caliper being able to move the tiniest bit in the caliper/pad cradle. Just a random idea. Otherwise I'd struggle to think what else would cause it unless some major component :/

In my experience either its P Bushes, or the nuts on the top of the strut in the mount. Did you threadlock them?

Could be I know this has happened before when I very first out it on the road, but iirc I did check it when I did track rod yesterday. Will double check though.

Don't think it's the nuts as I've double checked them. Plus I've had new strut tops as I thought they was the original cause.
few of us are thinking maybe pbushes. Even though they only done 3k miles.
Anyone got part number for oem partner bushes?

I've checked the Arb there seems to be no movement what so ever. Even with the drop links off I couldn't move it.

Are your small P bush bolts still there? After Sam lost one I did as well. Confused
