recently i had to have my car in for service for several items including the battery and the alternator, during which i had them look at the car's suspension components for the typical noises.
I used to have the typical knocking, grinding and creaking noises coming from the front, and a nerve-tickling metallic tapping noise coming from the rear suspension. Although I had gotten used to them somehow, I did not realize how they actually deteriorated the joy and the comfort of the ride.
The faulty parts in the front were the rear wishbone bushes, which got replaced with Golf V equivalents, and also the passenger side drop link (the bar that connects the damper to the anti-roll bar). In the rear, the top mounts of the dampers got replaced with new ones.
I cannot say at this point that the interior of the car is much quieter, because now the dash rattles attract even more attention. But I will eventually approach them some time and achieve that peaceful ride I have been longing for
So all in all if you have any of the above mentioned suspension noises it might be caused by these parts. Wanted to share my recent experience.
Take care
