Just lowered my new 09 2.0 TSI - Problem

Post by DonBenjam »

Hey guys,

Would appreciate any help, I have just lowered my Scirocco with Eibach springs, looks and drives much better - very happy. However, there is a rumble at low speeds coming from the rear of the car, it sounds very much like a wheel bearing noise, but there was no such noise prior to lowering, do you have any ideas what it could be? :shrug:

Thanks

Ben

any chance that the new geometry be causing your tyres to track differently (negative camber) and so be riding on a part of the tyre that may be the source of the noise?
also a less absorbent spring (stiffer rates) will transfer more road imperfections and noise

Yes I guess it's worth checking that, it's definitely not just more road noise as its an inconsistent whirring, every half second or so. I have booked it in for a £60 full tracking at my local VW so hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanks for your help.
