OMFG!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MY GLI IS DOING RIGHT NOW AS WELL!! PLEASE! if any of you know what this is, I need to know. I stopped driving the car when this sound started, I thought I had cracked a CV joint. If im wrong, I love to know what is causing this sound and what broke. Its even coming from then same side as Marks.

As I drove further the occasional "Thump" became more frequent and seemed to occur when I was decellerating (without braking), or began to brake. The thump sounded similar to when the disk-style bushing on the front control arm was worn so bad that the control arm banged up against the underside of the car on acceleration. I was in a bumpy parking lot making a few right turns and the thump became very pernounced and constant. Could this be a wheel bearing problem or a CV joint problem? 2 years ago I replaced the tie-rod ends and ball joints with TRW (VW OEM) parts. Thanks, Mark Reda. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
