it has gotten progressively worse over the weekend.
it sounds as if it is rebounding off the body.
I have not raised the car up (as I live on hills)
to check the mounting bolts, a couple of waterfront mechanics I mentioned it to think Bushing?

the car will be getting a Tech inspection within a couple of days, just thought I'd ask here while I'm at it.

any input from you Audi pros??

Thanks

any ill effects progress over time?
I have the 2 final rounds in an Auto-X this weekend I'm leading in, also entered in Quattro driving school at Sears Point in a couple of weeks!

Thanks

I would check all the suspension components to make sure nothing was loose. Who did your spring/shock install? You might want to have them take look.

WORST CASE: I'd just check the bolt after/during these events. Do a torque check on it to make sure it hasnt broken on you.

talk to dealer as the parts I believe are on backorder

His "phone diagnosis" are not very good (Service manger)? I just need to lift the car, but I figured to ask here first.

Good input, thanks
