- 2009 Jetta wagon DSG 08/08 205k buyback 1/8/18; replaced with 2017 Golf Wagon 4mo 1.8l CXBB
Could be sway bar end links. one thing to look at are the subframe mounting bolts, and the subframe bracket bolts.
After some alternate investigations, I found a couple loose (stretched a bit it seems).
I just replaced the bolts and re-torqued to spec, followed by alignment, and have been impressed with the ride ever since. (also the nice struts I put in, oem spec, but new bushings are nice.)
the funny thing is, you would need to drop the subframe to replace the sway bar, which would mean you would have to torque the mounting bolts. (and should replace) could be they did this before that fixed a complaint for another customer, and it was only the loose bolts, which fixed the problem, not the sway bar. (just a thought)
