Scirocco R rear knocking noise

[jacklingjinyew]

Hi guys,

I recently encounter a rear driver side knocking issue. I had tried anything i can do including tighten all bots and nuts at the rear driver side lower arm, suspension and more. I also removed the interior panel and reinstall everything. I started having this knocking sound after i fix my dented rims and balancing done. The knocking sound only happens on when i turn and brake. The noise will disappear once i drive on speed way and will occur again once i slow down. Anyone encounter this issue before? The knocking sound is driving me crazy.

Note: I had changed both of my boot stops and also empty everything in my boot but no solutions found.
Thank you

I had a similar issue and I replaced the rear offside drop link and it fixed it.

What's that bob?

What's that bob?

It links to the anti-roll bar and has a ball joint at one end which is prone to wear.

Hey guys sorry for the late reply I think is my rear absorber shock issue the internal steel is loose. I guess I will need to change both absorbers .

If that's the case, make sure you're sitting down and not holding a hot drink when they tell you the cost of a shock absorber and yes it is recommended they are replaced in pairs. I don't know if it's still the case but the OEM DCC compatible shock absorbers were only available from TPS / Dealer.

LOL............. they quoted me the price and indeed it is expensive to replace both shocks. I guess i will have to save up to replace it will update you guys after i get it replace.
