Default Cold clunk
Hi. I have a 2001 RS4 with PU LCA bushings. Since the cold there is a clunk from the front suspension only when applying brakes and the car is cold. The noise goes away after 5-10mins any ideas?

depends who’s bushings - some are better than others. This is where rubber is ultimately superior

I bought the cheapest red ones from ECS.
I installed Siberian PU bushings on my other car and loved them.

Looks like not just the stabilized drop link but one of the PU bushings broke
Do I go back the PU bushing of OEM?
