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.

Thanks!

Last night while driving I noticed a slight "Thump" sound from the front,
driver's side.
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.
