Passat Suspension - neil 1
I have a 98 passat and have recently begun to hear noises from the front suspension. I am aware this is a common problem with the front wishbones. Can anyone advise me further? Has anyone got anything out of VW seen as this is obviously a design fault?
Anything welcomed including cash donations!

speak to your local vw dealer. memory a bit dodgy but remember bout 2000 vw recalling all audia4 and passat4 modelsfor replacement of the lower alloy front arms due to the noise you have. if will not do under warrenty you can obtain them pattern from most factors plus german and swedish/euro car parts bout £50 each. £118 each plus vat from vw!

See Honest John on left; look under Car-by-Car Breakdown. Search for VW Passat - comment there about suspension failure.

Audi replaced bboth mine on my A$. 50% refund if under 83k miles.

Bushes wear out - design fault. Well known (German engineering is NOT as good as hyped)
