Tame technician - Older style S6 (97) suspension knock

[bigtalljim]

The Symptoms are a faint knock which appears to be comming from front right when I drive over rough surfaces/uneven roads. Not loud knock, but sounds like some thing not quite right. Handling and steering/braking uneffected.

Anything common on these models to look for? Handy with spanner but wrist broke at mo so rely on local indy to do work

tks

[istoo]

hopefully give tametech a break...
top mounts (not famously strong) sounds fairly likely candidate, had that in almost every Audi of this era.

Too old for me to really know I'm afraid. I've only driven / seen one of them in my life.

If the top mounts seem ok, has it got anti roll bar drop links, or do they have teh bar that goes through the lower arm (80's Ford style) if its got drop links check them.

they have anti roll bar links, which would be my next port of call as well. QST used to do after market ones, but niether top mounts or the links are dear.

thanks guys, I did suspect anti roll bar bushes so will go see my local indy armed with a little more knowledge.
Damn thermostat has stuck open now so will get that sorted while i am there!

tks again
