Noises problem
2000 Audi A4 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I HEAR AN AUDIBLE NOISE WHENEVER THE TOW FROM TYRES HIT A BUMP OR GOES OVER A ROUGH SURFACE, I SUSPECTED THE BEARINGS AND HAD THEM CHANGED, BUT I STILL GET THE NOISE. MY MECHANIC THINKS IT IS THE SUSPENSION ARMS IN THE FRONT, BEFORE I ALLOW HIM TO TAKE IT DOWN LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.

Hi Jack,

Knocking noise when going over bumps can be due to the folowing.

1. Lower suspension arm bushes/ ball joints.
2. Stabilizer link.
3. Steering links/ball joints.
4. Struts.

It is difficult for us to say which is the cause so you need to ask the mechanic to diagnose and rectify.
