Ok. I have a 2004 Jetta TDi with 30000 miles on it (probably by next week). Anyhow, when i go over short but sharp bumbs in an uneven road, there is a slight but noticeable clanking noise. It is not a deep noise but more of a clanking noise. I don't really know how to describe it. I think sometimes after it just rained and its wet outside, the noise will cease. The best piece of information is that it rattles when i go over those pieces of slotted road with white paint on them right before a stop sign to let you konw that there is a stop sign around the corner. I have VW Sport Springs on the car as well as 18'' ASA Ar1 wheels. I took the car to the dealer (mistake but ill deal with it until 60000+), and they said they replaced the sway bar linkage. I do not believe that this replacement involves the sway bar bushings, but please correct me if i am wrong. I am open to alll persons who think that they can help, especially from personaly experiences!!!!!! Thank you all ahead of time.
