i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i think my quattro system is messed up.

I have a '98 A4 2.8L Quattro. About a month ago, as i was driving home from work, i slipped and hit a curb with my rear wheel. It was the right wheel. After that i started to hear a noise, that kind of sounded like the sound a rock stuck in the tire would make. Kind of like a clicking that repeated at a constant frequency. It didn't always make the sound.

Now the sound has become a little bit louder, and the car has started to drift to the right sometimes. Again, it doesn't make the sound all the time.

At first i thought i had either messed up the tire, or the wheel bearing. But then i talked to my friend, and his brother told him it might be the quattro, as it messes up easily (that's what his bro. said, i don't know if it actually messes up easily or not).

So any advice anyone can give, would be super. And if you need me to be more specific on anything, just let me know.

I hope i can get this fixed....

oh, does anyone know how much it would cost?

THANKS!!!!!

 

it is most likely your wheel bearing and ill telll you right now the bearing aint cheap but im almost 100% sure that its the wheel bearing

 

yeah it was the wheel bearing. and it wasn't cheap, i also had to replace the upper control arms on the front.
