So the TOB /slave actually failed during a track day a few months ago. I had it replaced with the oem plastic one again. If only I had bought my clutch from FCP I wouldve just replaced everything then and there.
Sounds like upper strut mount. Could be from the cold also
Gotcha. We'll see if it resolves itself with warmer weather. Thanks!
. I'm thinking it's creaking springs and/or subframe bushings.Did you ever get an answer for this? I have rotors and pads as well as a bunch of other small stuff in my cart but didn't even really think about this to be honest.
I mean I did drill out my strut tower mounts for more camber. Will look at the upper strut mount later today and report backI too had/have a crunchy sound occasionally. Had new struts, strut mounts, and strut bearings put in (not because of the sound), and I still get the sound sometimes when it's cold
So you don’t have oem style upper mounts?
Nope. They’re unibal top mounts (I think that means pillowball?) excuse my ignorance lol, they’re ST XTAs, those come with built in adjustable top mounts
Then doubtfull they the crunch, can also bushings then at lca or sways.
Oof. I hope it's not the LCAs. Those are fresh (about 2 months on them) Superpros, and the swaybar is an H&R unit that shouldn't need grease. Will check everything tomorrow then, it's slushy and snowy out today
SuperPro full aluminum LCAs? I recall there were reports of noise with the early ones. They revised them later, to work with the MQB aluminum subframes, but I don't know if they revised the bearing.
