Left hand Rattle
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2018 5:09 pm
Hi my polo has a rattle on the left hand side front - only over very rough surfaces and faster than about 20mph
I checked the lower arm/ Bearing/antiroll bar and drive shaft and I cant find any play anywhere
I renewed the silent block and lower ball joint anyway today- made no difference.
I am completely stumped by this, it sounds like a metal on metal rattle, like a completely gone silent bush.
in the engine bay I can easily move/rattle the gear selector mechanism and it feels "loose" could it be this that I am hearing? it did have a new clutch in March this year.
the engine mount looks ok top and bottom.
I realy dont know what is causing it and its driving me mad!!!
