Default I finally found my suspension squeaking. I've got a broken spring. Right at the base of the spring,

there is a diagonal break, and thats letting the spring set off center, and its rubbing on the shock. It makes quite possibly the worst noise i've ever heard. But i found it. Now i need a new suspension.

Default so how long do you have until the control arm compeletly takes a ****?

because i assume my control arms are starting to go, but i have no budget to replace 4 (possibly more?) of them until next month. this is happening at the same time when i am looking to move 200 miles away.. i don't trust my car to make another one of these roadtrips to finalize the deal on my new pad :-\

Default If you hear any clunking, I'd get them fixed yesterday....

I had the lower control arm break on my passat last year, same symptoms, but I didn't pay attention. Luckily, it broke just as I was rolling to a stop.
