Title: Rubber rubbing noise from the front, Top mounts?
Post by: GTiBlues on February 03, 2015, 07:22:49 pm

Started developing a squishy squelching noise when going over speed humps. Its quite loud inside and out when it happens. The top mounts (bearings etc) was changed last year when I fitted my Eibach Sportline Springs. It was genuine parts from TPS.

Am I right in thinking its the mounts that's shot already?

Is there anything on the market that's more hard wearing? or just replace for new again?

I did the route of the TTRS/RS3 top mounts. Made things worse as they are shaped differently. So bought standard genuine mounts and new shocks. Solved the issue  :happy2:
