Hi everyone,

Wonder if you could help. I've got a 2002 Polo 1.9 TDI and over the last few months the suspension at the front has started knocking and (what sounds like) grinding when I go over a speed bump (typically happens when I think the suspension would be recoiling). I've had a look online and it seems that it may be something to do with the front roll bar bushings but can any of you confirm the likelihood of that?

I'm taking it to the VW garage on monday but wanted to be armed with prior information which may help reduce my labour bill for the diagnosis!!

Another thing is that around left hand bends the car seems very wallowy, sometimes dangerously so - would that point to the same problem (presumably the roll bar won't be doing much if the bushings are shot?)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Chris
