Hey everyone, I've noticed a clunk while driving over small potholes at a slow speed.
Back in my MK4 days, often the sway bar links would rarely be the issue and it was more so the sway bar bushings that hold it to the subframe.
After doing some reading up about Passat NMS front clunking being caused by worn sway bar components, it seems that users have replaced the sway bar links as that was the issue.
Are the links usually the failing point on these cars? My 2015 Passat has 93,000km and I do my best to drive carefully.
Has anybody had to replace the sway bar bushings instead of the links?
