Default Suspension BT: when i go over speed bumps, it seems theres a squeak coming from the front suspension
The squeak occurs when the car has gone over the speed bump, when the car falls then rebounds. What could be causing this? TIA

it could just be your upper control arms or even the spring retainer on the brake pads.

Default If the sway bar is cracked (common on TT's) it will need to be replaced.
A4/A6 could be lower front control arms (the straight one) The ball joint looses its' lube and starts to squeak.

Your car is telling you that it's time for coilovers.
