Help! strange noise from rear of car.
about two weeks ago i installed h-sports on my 1.8T, also installed new rear links(had plastic and went to oem metal ones). my problem is that when i take a right turn with most of my weight transfered to one side in a hard right turn or at 60 or more on the highway in medium right turns to ones you need to hold i hear this noise. the nosie is like someone dragging a fork on the pavement. but i never hear it going left. looked at the h-sports checked all bolts all fine. the only thing i found that looked differnt was that the right rear link seems to sag down a little. in other words is that the back of the bushing seems to be lower. the driverside one is staight. is this one broken? can i get better ones to co-exist with the h-sports? i also have heard this noise coming from the rear like a setteling noise. are my rears shot? are the h-sport set on stiff to much for stock suspension?

Sounds like you may be barking up the wrong tree. When's the last time you had wheelbearings done?
could just be a coincidence with the H-Sports, no? I have also had the problem of the droplink touching the axleshaft when flexed to the limit. Your axle is painted, is there a small section that has been worn off?

My fitting occasionally hits at start up...it's real close.
you can do a visual to see if it's close enough to hit. Perhaps there is some marks to identify contact. I've been toying with removing the fitting and putting a plug in it....installing the fitting temporarily if I need to lube...
