front suspension on 2007 A4 [/align]
[hr]
Hi, I just got a 2007 A4 quattro. I noticed that whenever I go over bigger potholes or speed-bumps, even at 5 mph, there are clicking and clunking noises coming from the front suspension, wheels or brakes. I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this before and if it is normal for a new car. I'll ask the dealer to take a look at it when I go for my first 5k service. Thanks for all your replies.[/align]

I am not sure what noise are you referring to. But it's always good to have your dealership to take a look. No noise coming out from my A4, maybe I have sport suspension.

 

i wouldnt wait that long i would go now, sounds like your suspensionhas problems control arm or somethign this shot if its brand new dont hesitate 5k on a broke suspension can destroy the car and you maybe sol if it brakes on the freeway.

 

I don't have the sport suspension on my A4. The noises are more like clicks(metal hitting metal) and the only time I hear them is over speed-bumps or larger potholes. These noises have been there since I got the car 3 months ago.

 

That doesn't sound so good. You should notify your dealership and get a more clear answer.

 

Just to clarify, the clicking noises are coming from both sides/wheels in front.

 

It might be brake squeak. It happens often on B7. Try a few HARD brakings see if that sound will go away.

 

I am also suspecting that it's the brakes making those clicking noises, since the suspension/handling feels very solid, and there is no noise during hard turning. I am just wondering if the noises will go away with time.

 

Alot of B7er report about the brake noise, and dealership won't do a thing about it (wear and tear item). Some say if you try a few HARD braking, the sound will go away. Give that a try.

If you still not comfortable about it, have your dealership take a look. But NEVER admit it's your fault, say it was like that when you bought the car.

 

ya always blame it on the car, saying its been like that for since you bought it, stealership will try anything not to spend any money
