    I got them from ebay. Item no 283385093576 is the fronts if yours are 23mm. The rears I also got on ebay. Important you know what size you are after as there is quite a variation in Dia across the passats.

    Thanks marshal. I took my subframe off to replace the control arm bushes and have only just now seen that I should have used a locating kit to put it back on so it's still aligned. Apparently this can cause knocks and groans. Could this be your problem after changing one of your other bushes?

    No probs. No I changed all the bushes and arms without removing the subframe. I did replace all the bolts with new ones as well as fitting spacers between the chassis and subframe which was an official VW TSB.

    Changed my bushes and I've still got the knick aswell! I've got a feeling the big circular bush that holds the dog bone bush allows too much movement and the end of the dog bone is tapping the subframe. They make an insert for that bush. Might be worth a try.

    Funny you should mention the insert. I fitted the red powerflex one yesterday and all I can say is horrendous. The vibration on idle is beyond belief lol. I'm about to remove it now lol.

    No it did not stop the knocking lol. Have ordered some new caliper guide pins and sleeves as the caliper on the front left has quite excessive movement compared to the right. Will keep you informed.

    Finally found the issue. After replacing the anti roll bar bushes I obviously did not have the roll bar 100% central. This in turn allowed the lower nut on the drop link to contact with the plastic guard right next to it. Quick adjustment of the roll bar and all good now.
