Clunking noise, thought it was the strut bearings. turns out i was wrong i guess. i put new bearings, rubber & hardware in - no difference.

It's a clunking noise going over any size bumps or when i turn the wheel. Just from the front passenger side...sway bar? It dosn't appear to have plastic sleeves on it...

Default probably the swaybar bushing. if you didn't change it yet, you probably should swap it

for some poly bushings. 20mm powerflex bushings.

that's a common noise on TTs. failure of the bushing/plastic sleeve.

Default You can pull the PASSENGER side sway bush in 10 minutes and check if you

have plastic sleeves. If you do, go for poly's...<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/brakes_and_suspension/front-anti-swaybar-/">http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/brakes_and_suspension/front-anti-swaybar-/</a</li></ul>

Same thing happened to me, I'd assume all the suggestions are right on the money. Next project...

Default is that also called >

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/53277/vfendlink.jpg"></center><p>the "connecting link" (part 18 on illustration 407-11 on Ekta - long thin rod (sorry, still haven't figured out how to post from ekta))? Of course "the actual part may differ...", but there is an apparent 'significant' difference in length. I don't necessarily want these, btw, but curious.
